Picture Tube Television Sales

More Info

These slogans need work, but they are a low priority: When you buy from me, you keep 50-100 pounds of good reliable electronics from going to the third world miscatagorized as scrap. You also get to keep $100+ of your money out of the hands of the big boys. Most TV is just repetitive crap. I'll buy a $600 TV when the content is worth a $600 TV! Until then, a $60 TV I can hide in a cabinet will do just fine, thank you!

General Info

Is there a niche between the 'as-is' private party/thrift store/salvage dealer units and the new low end LCD HDTVs available from the big name retailers? I think so. I can get a reliable product out the door for $30 to $100, generally 1/2 or less of the cost compared to the big boys. I offer a six month written electronics failure warranty on some of the name brand sets that I know have several years of service left in them. Right now, I have a 1985 Mitsubishi in the window that I fixed up just to show how tough and long lasting they can be. My specialty is the 17 to 24 inch screen sizes where the difference between 525i/480i (the old way) and 720p (the new way) is noticeable only by people with exceptionally acute vision and in some unusual circumstances. So if you can hit major league pitching or spot a deer at 2,000 yards you should go the 720 or 1,080p route. If you are bothered by spoked car wheels that seem to be turning backwards compared to the direction of travel then 720p is for you. Otherwise, the old way will be OK. If you don't know what I'm talking about then the old way is definitely for you. These familiar TV sets are well suited to apartment-sized living rooms, bedrooms, motel rooms and dorms, not too heavy or power hungry. They also are good backup units or supplements for people who save their 80 inch TVs for big time sporting events and other HDTV worthy fare. For others who are trying to save money, I sell a TV, HD converter and amplified 'rabbit ear' antenna combination for $80-$200 that picks up nearly all of the English and/or Spanish-speaking networks 'over the air' for free from most places in Salinas.
