Here's an '88 Philco console for you - it's going to a friend of mine who's TV is dying rapidly.

I held onto this set for two months for a "needy mother," was going to give it to her. When she finally showed up last week, she says it's way too big for her daughters' bedroom. My wife asks if she could use it in her living room. "Oh no, we have two flat-screen TVs already. Got them with the FEMA money after the storm." I told her she could improve her "desperate" circumstances by selling the two flat-screens and BUYING this fine Philco for only $25. I don't think she'll be back...
