The Admiral I picked up a few weeks ago slid around in the back of my Forester and the UHF knob busted off. I buckled it up in one of the rear seats to secure it. I swear the mat in the back of that car is made of teflon and soaked in silicone......you take a gentle turn and everything slams and slides around back there.

Anyways a co-worker threatened to give me a 30-something inch HD CRT TV but I declined....I don't know where I'd put it and it weighs as much as a console. I wouldn't kick a GDM-FW900 outta bed though

In reality it may have a problem or the customer thought it did. He looks
for a TV shop & dosnt find any. Now he picks up a new LCD BIG screen & gets rid of the bulky, ugly & heavy set. He is as we say " keeping up with the Jones" with the new set also.
At the shop we had to rent a trailer to store junk TV's. The recyclers emptied
it ever 3 weeks. Most was still working or had simple problems. On a good day
we would get businesses junking monitors by the truck load. We often made more $$ junking sets than in sales & service. Being an old "yankee" I
detested the waste of perfectly good things....

enuf fer now
