Plus, Component to RGB converters are about $70 or so...

I hope that was supposed to be sarcastic. Gas would cost me somewhere around $120, there and back. It's like a 1400 mile round trip! I don't like to spend anything more than about $40 on collecting a CRT TV (even though CRT TVs are the only kind I own right now, haha).

I have the pedestal and speakers (re-filled, sadly) for the one that my estate will have to dispose of. The set "on the bubble" has no pedestal, but I do have speakers in various states of disrepair that could go. PM if interested, as I don't want to run afoul of terms here...

Sarcastic, to be sure. Some say my sense of humor is so dry it evaporated months ago. Although I have gone to great lengths for collector stuff before... like a three-day marathon to fly to Phoenix and drive back with a rental car full of sports car parts. (Seller was older, and could not swing pack and ship for a complete driveline...)

So no, I wasn't "expecting" you.
