Looky what followed me home

[Kamakiri]

I was out with my sons today, doing some thrift store running (I had to find a few metal folding chairs), and we decided to stop by the Buffalo ReUse center, one of those places run by Habitat for Humanity. My eye was caught immediately by the back of a Zenith tube set sulking by the bay door. Looked at the front, and son of a gun....a Space Command 300!

I went inside up to the desk, and said "hi, you've got an old Zenith TV sitting by the loading dock?" He said, "God bless you, haul it away if you want it'. Sounded like they didn't want it but had no idea how to get rid of it or what to do with it.

So I did! It just fit in the trunk of my Cadillac DTS. It appears that it sat somewhere that wasn't good for it, as the top is warped up on the corners....but there are no water spots on it. Turned on my agile modulator in the house, and powered it up on a variac in my garage. Sonofabitch, it works!



Even the motor for the tuner works too! Time to clean it up and bring it in the house, where I'll treat it to a cleaning, some fresh caps, and then I can watch me some tee vee
