Anybody want to own a genuine TV repair shop?

I had my hopes up. He said no to my first 3 guesses and I was trying to think fast and said Packard Bell... he said that sounds close but it's not that. That's when I started to get a disappointing feeling as I had already confirmed it has a rectangular screen. He said it was a popular brand that had a lifetime warranty and sure enough it was my next regretful guess... it's a Curtis Mathis. My thoughts went to that mammoth sized '79 model we all saw on ebay a short time ago. You could not pay me to take that.
He said a lady is supposed to come put it in her car but he thinks it wont fit so he may be calling me. He is a nice man that I hope is mistaking a roundie for a rectangularie. Stranger things have happened so I will check it out if he calls.

I actually own a building in the Detroit area that would be an IDEAL tv-repair shop. I should think that with a UPS/Fed-Ex/etc. account, there would be enough business via the internet overhauling old sets/radios...

Rebuild my sets and I'll give you a below market lease!

Hi Carmine,
Sounds like a good possibility except that I have to live close to my relatives.
I definately want to visit your area sometime.
Saturday I am going to meet with the man selling the shop and I'll get pics to post. If I were to get into this business I would need financial backing so I may have a little difficulty in getting someone to invest in a TV shop! I have a few people to help me run the business but I expect it would be sometime before such a business would turn a profit but I will check it all out anyway.

I haven't heard from the Curtis Mathis owner so I guess the lady managed to get it. I wrote that you could not pay me to take the humongous '79 we saw on ebay awhile ago but if I had space I would. If it was a roundie I would make space. I really like the home entertainment centers even though I always feel like an idiot who is maybe a little weird whenever I go to lift one. I have a huge RCA that a friend and I almost dropped hard but softened the landing with my friends finger. Eventually the skin heeled and you can hardly tell it happened. I am moving to another apartment in Feb. so I may make some dolleys to roll it. It has casters but I worry about ruining them by pushing it across concrete. I wanted to go into another apartment but I would have had to remove a complex window system to get it in so I had to go to an apartment that cost $220. more a month to keep my great sounding oversized stereo!
