I have a TV that I'm needing to get rid of.

It's a 27"[1] Toshiba FST, complete with speakers and floor-standing cabinet, built-in. I can't find an exact model number on it.

It is at least 15 years old - I suspect older - but is in perfect working condition. It has UHF-in (still in original dust-proof covers. Who the hell uses UHF-in?), two VHF/cable-ins, S-video and Component in as well as all kinds of sound plugs and a pile of outputs, too. The entire unit is 42" wide, 20" deep, and 31" high. The casing around the TV is wood. It's heavy, but two people can carry it easily if they each grab one end. It's on wheels and actually rolls, so it's not hard to maneuver on any flat surface - no need for help to wire things up or vacuum behind it, etc.

The remote is in less than perfect condition - it works, but sometimes you have to shake it first. It's been dropped a few times over the lifetime of the unit.

Interested? Make an offer. If you're not local, then shipping from Ottawa, Canada is your problem. If you are local, I'm pretty sure it will fit in my car and, if so, I can drive it over to you. If not, well, I know people who have bigger cars than I do and I could probably borrow one, or you could pick it up, or you could rent a van for about $30... the possibilities are endless.

Ugly-ass cellphone picture!


[1]: All units measured in Crappy Obsolete Pointless Scale, because, for TVs, people insist on it. I kinda see why, since "68.6 cm screen" just doesn't have the same ring to it, but that's not the point.

You guys' analog cable doesn't do UHF? Or maybe your UHF is a higher band than our UHF -- Our PAL-G bands are Band I VHF TV (Ch 2-12), Band II FM Radio (centered around 100 MHz), Band 3 & 4 UHF TV (Ch 13-60 IIRC). Cable and broadcast using the same bands and encodings, so the same tuner will do both.

Also: My GOD, what a horrifically *gigantic* enclosure.

It is, really, a pair of giant high-quality speakers around a giant high-quality TV.

For values of "giant" and "high quality" that date back to the 1980s, of course, but still.

(No chance you want to pay for shipping to Scandahoovia? No?)
