Haha, yup. That label was an invitation if I ever saw one.

That TV is probably more desirable now having been stripped of everything except the CRT. I spent over two hours last night getting the tape off the CRT neck, now I just need to figure out why I went to the trouble of doing that, and to figure out what kind of franken-set I can make out of what's left.
