Radiotvnut, what would you have paid for my Samsung before I repaired it, and after my repairs and adjustments? Just wondering if I did good in the end myself. Cause i LOVE the TV and am still thankful you told me about the flyback issues they had, you were spot on.

Had I seen that TV in un-serviced condition at the thrift store or at a yard sale. I probably wouldn't have paid more than $10 for it. If it had been serviced and if I needed a TV, I'd probably pay $25-$30 for it. The reason I wouldn't pay any more is because all I'd have to do is place an ad in the paper, stating "Free pick-up of non-working TV's" and I'd get many calls from people wanting to give away similar TV's from the '80's and '90's. Since everyone thinks they must have a flatscreen, I'd probably get a bunch of working TV's, just to get them out of their way. Usually, when someone ask me if I'll buy their broken TV, my reply is, "No, I get enough of them given to me for free". About the only kind of TV's that I'll shell out for are pre-1980 sets that I find interesting because TV's from that era are getting hard to find.
However, it really doesn't matter what I'd pay for your TV. What matters is how well you like it and if you like the TV; then, it's up to you to decide how much you wish to spend on it. Some people think I'm crazy for buying some of the stuff I bring home; but, I buy what I like and the negative opinions of others mean nothing to me.
