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.

Time to revive Mark's idea for a TV pony express :D

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 :screwy:

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. :yes:
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 :D
Or would I :scratch2:
I guess central Ohio and central Michigan are about the same distance from Chicago. I need to brush up on my geography.

Someone who has bid on a lot of TVs has a bid in on it. Anyone here???

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...:thmbsp:
