after years of being left onm, hit, bumped and abused by little ones, my beloved bargain 60" rear projection TV has died.....temporarily replaced by the tiny 37" lcd from the bedroom.....sigh

got the TV, matching stand and surround sound from an old neighbour for 450$......says on the back it was built in 2007, did not bad i guess.....

put it to the curb. There is some valuable stuff in them, I don't know what/where, but I pick up carcasses of them all the time

Usually from the same house

Yea, drag it to the curb and like magic it will disappear overnight. :twothumbsup:

So true.... In my neighborhood, trash is Monday and Thursday (CRAP I forgot to put it out this morning) and on Sunday in the late afternoon the Beverly Hillbilly pickups start trolling the neighborhood and picking stuff up to fix/sell.

Probably put a micro fuse in it and be watching it by the CEE MEANT POND

Paul that's hilarious... In my college days I have to admit that I'd have probably tried to float a couch if I had the opportunity.

We tried to float a MUTT in Siagon. . .didnt work at all!! :whistling:

58" Samsung smart tv. Looks tiny still compared to the monster that used to live there, and yes, Kids Shows....no adult TV here till after they go to bed.....now to upgrade some components.....trying to hook a brand new TV to a 15+ year old surround sound reciever is difficult at best, half the connections I used to use don't exist on the new TV........got it working well enough for the time being.....no audio from the playstation to the surround till i break down and get either an optical audio cable from the TV to the receiver or a reciever with HDMI input/output capability......F***......

Ha, the tiny 37" huh, lol my big TV is a 42", I don't ever watch it so I'm not wasting my money on a $1000 TV.
