You may be surprised ! About 5 yrs ago we got a mint one
in comp.w/remote & manual. The owner wanted to scrap it but
I said NO. We had a bunch of 27" used & the most we could
get was $125 for a mint Wega 27" by then.
Fixed it & put it out for $300. The boss said I was nuts but I knew
something he didnt. The set sold for $250 cash no tax nuf sed.
Took 2 weeks. What did I know ?
You see I also worked at a Proton ASC. They had a cult following
& most went to eccentric rich folk. Most of the dealers catered
to this group. The owners were devoted to them.
That being said Proton was a strange set. Designed 2 TV generations
old. But they were predictable & reliable. Pix wise they were
right up with all the top tier sets. Just a matter of personal
taste in color between them. They were good solid sets & well built.
So put it on Craigs list at a very high price. I bet
you will get at least a C-note out of it. Stress its rarity & quality.
