"Not sure if it works, I Doubt It"

Me, too. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a sheet of paper where the CRT should be?

And the best part? It's only 400 bucks.

Found it...

He obviously is giving the buyer a discount of $89.95 for the missing picture tube. Whataniceguy. :rolleyes:

This guy just doesn't have a clue how to sell things effectively on eBay. He currently has 10 other items and none of them have a single bid as he has ludicrous opening bid amounts on all of them.

It would also be nice if he at least listed the brand name (model name or number would've helped too).

Sum peepull.

I wondered about that too, sure looks like paper.
$400 is a bit steep for a T-120 also.

theres paper on there because if you put a candle inside you can do shadow puppets into the paper with your hand.

LOL

I got a shadow I want to show the seller, looks just like a hand flipping him the bird.

You're Number ONE!

HA!!!!!! My big pet peeve are these sellers that have a huge opening bid on items that are not worth it. I also watch them relist and relist and relist. Last night I saw an RCA 12" B&W from the late 70's early 80's with an opening bid of $60.00 and this is like its 4th time listed. Also there is a color RCA 2000 that is on its 3rd listing.

Andy, OMG!! I would not have believed it it I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Someone thinks they are going to get $200.00 out of a CRAPPY old RadarRange? A used store in my hometown has a ton of these and you can't GIVE them away. Can you imagine what the shipping would be on it??? I wasn't even that dumb when I was a "newbie" on eBay.

Regarding the picture of the tv--either I am extremely naive or I need new glasses, or my monitor is screwed (a distinct possibility with either of the last two), but when I first saw this one, I didn't think there was paper where the CRT should be--just that the screen was disgustingly dusty.

First post from a lurker (who doesn't have many TVs either!)

I dunno - it looks like paper to me...

I just had to mention this Ebay UK ad - this Nakamichi has been on the system under different numbers for OVER A YEAR - he's easily asking ~3x what that deck's worth - dread to think what his costs have been by now:
Nakamichi CR1E (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3065726717&category=4784)

Re that RadarRange ad - technically you CAN watch "tv" on it - stick a chicken or something in the microwave section and watch it rotate - microwaves were the butt of jokes about "oh, you've got a new TV in your kitchen" etc etc over here in the UK for most of the 80s - got very boring pretty quick!

BTW - is that "poodle in a microwave" an American urban legend, or did that really happen???

" is that "poodle in a microwave" an American urban legend, or did that really happen???"

I heard it was a cat... :puke:

For the most part the animal in the microwave stories are blown out of proportion, but has happened on a few occasions according to Snopes:

Regarding the paper in the RCA mystery, maybe I am listening to too much "ambience" music on the internet but I would swear I can see somebody playing a grand piano. Anybody else halucinating in a like manner?

And at $400 I am rich 'cause I got two of 'em!
Marlin:dunno:

I asked the seller:

"Yes it has a tube and your are correct there is newspaper in it as well."

So there's the answer, it has a tube.
Wonder why it has newspaper stuck in there?

I got mine for $19 but it was missing the knobs and back.

The first one is obviously false:
" the poor creature exploded the instant the oven was switched on."

It would take quite a while to heat it up to the bursting point! No way would it explode instantly, if at all.

Yeah - now you guys mention it - that DOES look like someone playing the piano...

Another urban legend (probably) - one of my mate's friends was training to be in the SAS, but dropped out. In part of the training process though, they made them watch a video of a cat being microwaved. By all accounts it took about 5 minutes before the poor moggie popped...

You're right. These things do happen every now and then. I read in my local newspaper a few years ago of some kid who broke into a lady's house and stuck her cat into the microwave. The animal did not survive, even though the owner got it to the vet as soon as she could. :(

As you said, (the nerve of) some people, especially kids. What drives them to do things like that? :dunno: I hope the one who pulled this stunt was arrested and put in prison for extreme animal abuse.

Don't worry - the karma will come back round and get him - scummy barsteward. How can you do that to a cat!?

On "Animal hospital" (a vet programme with Rolf Harris on, here in the UK) a few months back, they had a moggie who'd been microwaved. Luckily he only had minor tissue damage to his back legs and he recovered, but the legs looked in a right state when he was first brought in. That one was a kids/microwave/genuine accident thing though thankfully.
