It's OK though, it was just a crappy '89 Sylvania (NAP) console so no one will miss it.
A buddy at work told me his wife wanted to gut an 'old console tv' to make way for a fishtank, and naturally my alarm started going off. I told him if I couldn't convince him not to do it, I'd help him take the guts out if I could have them. He said OK, so I followed him home today. As soon as the garage door went up, I breathed a sigh of relief- a cable ready Sylvania. Instead of sadly helping him gut a saveable set, I gladly helped him haul the CRT to the curb and kept the PCB for spare parts. All's well that ends well I guess, the parts will likely make it into another set of mine.
