However, I went to a family friend's farm to do the yearly pecan picking and ended up finding...more TVs, buried deep in a pile of trash.
I saw the back of one sticking out from the underbrush and after digging for a while, I ended up with a 15" black and white RCA portable set and a ~19" Sylvania solid state color set (with a necked CRT  ).
Do you guys think I can get the RCA to work? I took a peek inside and all the tubes are there, the CRT is intact, and the yoke doesn't look corroded. I think there's a good chance it just might fire up...the tuner might be hosed, though, it took a hard hit in that corner and everything is pretty smashed.
More to come very soon. |
There's so much good stuff out for free or very little money. Freecycle or Craig's list, etc.
The RCA is in too rough of condition to even try to get working. Pull the tubes, knobs and maybe the CRT.
