The stuff people throw out

We had our annaul council clean-up. Anyway a lot of "exchanging" or "thanx
for that" goes on. There are even professional junk collectors and
auction-junkies who look for saleable items,usually furniture...but to the
point. I noticed people this year are tossing a lot of TVs out, a trend
since cheap conventional TVs have become available for under $150 in some
cases for a circa 48cm set.

I struck it lucky,..one pile had a 48cm Sharp Linytron TV in a large cabinet
(weighed a ton, despite being live chasiss) and a Sharp stereo VCR with aux
inputs for mikes and a level led bar meter. Got the 'prizes' home and they
both work.

OK the TV was sagging a bit in the colour department, but it has no other
probs. I think what happened was the previous owner probably bought a UHF
only set, and the VCR being VHF out only, was nigh-near useless.
