I'm not normally a combo person, but I just couldn't pass this up

This was sitting in a thrift store since the 2nd with a ridiculous price of $300 dollars! The guy pricing things was trying to tell me that the price was totally reasonable and that he "knew about these old things"

I went back day after day watching people put things on it and was fearing it would turn into the common scuffed up things we sometimes see that look like they've been dragged across the floor. The set actually gave a raster and the amplifier worked. I saw the price come down to $225 yesterday.

Today I finally decided to just go over electro-boy's head and go right to the manager. I politely asked him the reasoning for the price and he had no clue that it had been priced that high. In the end I got it for 80 dollars. I think it will be a nice restoration project since it really doesn't need cosmetic work. The only major problem is the TV set is always on. Probably a shorted cap across the power switch or something... we'll see. Haven't tested much anything else at the moment. I'm just enjoying the looks!
