A couple of weeks ago, I picked up a BPC 19" Sanyo out of someone's garbage around the corner from my home. My mother gave me a hard time about stopping the car because she doesn't do "dumpster diving" in any fashion. She thinks that if someone throws something out; then, that's where it should stay. Anyway, this set was dirty and the front buttons were all broken out. It looked like a dog chewed the plug off the AC cord. I cleaned it up, put a cord on it, programmed a remote to it and it worked with very touchy vertical sweep. A simple resolder of the vertical output IC fixed the problem. The picture is very good on this set. I look to find many perfectly working TV's in the trash this year as some people think they will be worthless after 2/09.
