721TCS needs rescued in PA!!

This poor thing is the much rarer floor model of the 721TS and worth saving.

It looks bad but possibly could be restored by someone with skill and talent.

I think I have only seen one more of these, and that was on here. Too far for me.

39-hour one-way drive from here if you wear astronaut diapers and don't make a single stop.

It looks like it is just over the river from me in York county. I could pick it up, but I really won't be able to keep it for more than a few weeks, as I'm in the middle of moving.

Stewartstown- This is really in the middle of nowhere-I worked down in the area, and I recall that when we ordered pizza it would take 2 hours to deliver! This is also pretty close to the site of the bizarre "Pow Wow Murder"

That's certainly the weirdest tale I've read in a while

Did give it a passing thought. I think it's about 1 1/2 from here. Maybe I'll grab it at the last if no one else does.

That would be great if you did.

Otherewise, if someone could get it to the Cleveland Ohio area before Thanksgiving I could get it to the center of Michigan. That is if anyone would find that location convenient.

It'd be closer to me so I'd find it convenient

Or would I
I guess central Ohio and central Michigan are about the same distance from Chicago. I need to brush up on my geography.

It just went for $49.99. First bidder raised his own bid. Guess he really wanted it. If it were closer, and no one else bid, I might have gone for it. It's rough, possible dud CRT, and a long drive. Bidder appears to be a TV collector, so I let him take it.

Glad to hear someone bid on it. I was starting to feel guilty. Already plenty of basket cases.

Also helps if you bring a BB gun, a hammer, a buck knife, rubber tubing and some pepper spray...
