I'm taking bets -- fishtank or "Deco" litterbox cabinet?

Either way what a waste :rant:
That's not too far from me - about 90 min round trip. Maybe I should bid on it and chew him out when I pick it up ?

I saw that and knew exactly what you were talking about by your post title. He's still a dumb jerk even if he saved the guts.:no:

I'd hold off on the chewing out for now. Don't want him to cancel the auction and haul it out to the curb, just to teach those annoying collectors a lesson :)

LOL - Yeah, I was kidding about that.

Does that chassis use a 12LP4 ?

Hmm. According to my Wallace Telaide, Zenith used a 12UP4.

It's a metal 12UP4, lots of people need that tube as well as parts from that chassis so it's not a total waste.

My guess is color conversion, good luck getting a 16:9 set to fit in a Porthole.

Thanks for the info. I'll try to grab it if no one else bids just to save it.

I would like to bid. But I'm not going to be down that way for awhile.

I emailed the seller about the possibility of picking it up October 4th. Your fish tank guess is correct.

"Yes I am available on the 4th. A complete rebuild into a custom aqurium."

Shame.

The current high bid is $0.01 There have been two bids. How is this possible?

I don't have a porthole yet. I may be getting one on saturday. I have no idea if I would need it for spare parts or not. Putting the plow before the horse. :) It's a long drive to Illinois...and I am sure someone else needs the parts as well. So all is good. It has bids so it's being saved. Which is great.

The same bidder raised their high bid. I do that sometimes too.

Duh, seeing as how I've done that also I too should have thought of it. :o

Your friend gave me clearance to go that high so I did.
It's all hers :)
