It followed us back from Saudi Arabia, so it is PAL1, PAL2, SECAM and NTSC, as well as voltage agile from 100 VAC to 240 VAC. My wife is its only user, maybe I could trade it in for a 40" flat-screen.... they are so cheap these days, even for a 'name brand'. Thoughts? Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

I have a 27" from that time frame, US model though. Having PAL/NTSC could be of interest to import collectors. Does that one have an RGB SCART input? A standard US Trinitron in good condition can get $50-100. SCART would add value to the right buyer on this side of the pond. Some people SCART mod them with varying results, having a proper factory-installed port would be better. I made a 4 hour round trip a few years ago for a Sony XBR960 (granted, it's a sought after model)...some people contacting that seller lived 5, 6 hours away. There's a PVM listed nearby me right now for $700, which isn't unreasonable. I would encourage people to at least google the model # before recycling/ tossing. |

For me the biggest example of that wasn't actually a boat but a 486 laptop I bought for around 1000 pounds with loads of idea as to how I was going to get good use out of it. I probably ended up using it no more than 10 times making it 100 pounds per go. ;-( We haven't used the tandem cycle 'that much' either but for the times we have used it (camping / touring holidays) it has justified the purchase price and because it's dry stored (and with no marina / mooring fees <g>) will probably recoup most of it's cost when sold. Cycles don't go out of fashion quite like some electronics. ;-) Cheers, T i m |
