It was kind of ironic how it happened. I ended up parting out a set and felt guilty as hell for doing so....but it had a blonde cabinet painted brown, veneer totally missing on top, blown resistors on the chassis and a questionable flyback and yoke. Had to let discretion be the better part of valor and make a decision that it wasn't worth my or anyone else's time to bother with.

Saved the picture tube and other parts, and listed the cabinet on Craigslist as a freebie. A guy came and got it and was going to refurb it into a fish tank. Ugh.

The guy, was THIS guy. Since he already now HAD a place for his fish tank, he didn't want to cut this one up. Had I not parted that other set, THIS one would now be a fish tank.

Truth is stranger than fiction, sometimes.

Oh, and he and his partner now have my business cards. They do home cleanouts. One of the kinds of people we ALL dream to get to know....
