The end of the world is near...

Wow religious intercourse Batman that guy must really be on some good meds... I like the fact that he shows the cap and component board looks like it was soldered by a 5 year old. I think we should all sit back and see if he actually pulls this off if he does, I guarantee you my old TV collection will literally be worth millions... Needless to say I'll have a lot of CRT's for sale as well as chassis :-)

Maybe it was. Brian's 8 year old daughter has demonstrated superior soldering skills.

To paraphrase a comment on another discussion:

Maybe if a couple of us TV collectors found an early Gibson-Les Paul guitar and drilled holes all over it for sorting out our capacitors (stand their leads in the holes), or strung up a bunch of Telefunken 12AX7s as Christmas-tree lights (run them at 8 or 9 volts, nice and bright!), when the audiophools came crying, we could explain how this type of junk is to us.

Now there's a cool idea! I didn't know tubes could glow bright at such low voltages.

On a similar note, I junked a Dual turntable for its motor. I'm sure the audiophools would have wanted it for nothing because a little bit of rubbing alcohol got on the platter and ate away a little bit of the rubber. Aside from that, it was too complex for me to want to bother fixing, strobe lights are almost impossible to find and they're not a bolt-in swap for most other turntables of the time. Give me a much-simpler Garrard any day for the rare occasion I do play records.

It's not even a good guitar amplifier, it's missing the necessary leaky .022uf black beauty capacitors that all great guitar amps need to get that "sound"

Someone needs to slap this idiot and tell him he wasted a perfectly good antique television, on a stupid, poorly made guitar amp. It looks like a child made this.

This piece of trash made by the hands of a baboon could be YOURS for the new LOW LOW COST OF $2,500!

I wonder if one can convert a fish tank into a guitar amp or convert a guitar amp into a fish tank?

Wow, i should never have clicked that link.

That's about as bad as the guy who cuts speakers into suitcases and asks absurd money (and occasionally gets it!):

Oh--That's just plain Wrong on all sorts of levels, not least the god-awful build-quality.....
