I suppose that's typical nowdays! I had a TV tube that had a burnt out heater for the red gun, the store had one instock that they were going to throw out because the TV model is too old to repair, however they would sell it forthe listed $480, I said that's rediculous I could buy a new TV for that, I offered $200 but they refused, so they tossed it!
(wish I knew where) talk about stupid!, that was panasonic, won't buy one of them again out of principal!
