25" Sears console from '85

[radiotvnut]

Today, a friend gave me their old Sears (Sanyo) 25" color console TV from 1985. He said it worked; but, the color would sometimes go out and the volume would sometimes go up on it's own (both faults probably due to dirty controls).

Last Saturday, I got an email from a friend of a friend who wanted an empty TV cabinet to make a dog bed. Generally, I'm against this sort of thing; but, the cabinet on this set is not in great shape (one of the plastic side pieces have already fallen off, it's too new for me, and I don't have the space to keep it for months in hopes that someone might give me $10 for it.

I fired it up and it had a nice picture; but, I can't keep everything. So, I pulled the chassis and CRT for future use and the lady is supposed to pick up the cabinet in a couple of days. I guess it's better that this set got parted out for a dog bed, instead of her finding and ruining a vintage set.
