People are wasteful

lol. i could care less if its a TV with everything missing but the tube and the board. i will still watch and use it.

its amazing what you can find on the side of the road or a dumpster. I found a turntable/am/fmradio/cassette system in a dumpster not too far from here, other than a missing tonarm, it works perfect. go figure.

I pickup TVs off the side of the road, and I fixed them.

back a couple of years ago, i used to pickup projection TVs and regular TVs off the side of the road all the time. half of them worked. I got them all working but a couple and donated them to servecity. you wouldnt believe the look I got with all them damn working TVs comming in the door. they more than needed them. and I fixed a few that were already donated but didnt work at all, couple of them with minor problems, such as cold solder joints and such. I called it operation rescue, and it was a school project more or less.
