Super User Hookemdown. Posted November 9, 2008 Super User Posted November 9, 2008 We've got a 55 in. that's about 8 years old. The CRT broke, so we bought a new LCD. (HD is awesome!) Anyways, I now have a giant TV stuck in my living room. I really don't want to just trash it, any ideas? Quote
Super User Muddy Posted November 9, 2008 Super User Posted November 9, 2008 Senior Citizen Centers will take them for thier TV areas and no Long Mike your house does not qualify as a Senior Citizen Center ;D Quote
Super User Dan: Posted November 9, 2008 Super User Posted November 9, 2008 just take it to the dump. Quote
Super User fourbizz Posted November 9, 2008 Super User Posted November 9, 2008 do it the lazy way put it in your driveway with a sign that says free on it. it will be gone quick Quote
Super User Muddy Posted November 9, 2008 Super User Posted November 9, 2008 do it the lazy way put it in your driveway with a sign that says free on it. it will be gone quick Hey 4bizzle I did that with an old CD player and speaker set that worked just fine No takers with the FREE sign. So I put a sign that said FOR SALE 20 BUCKS, SEE OWNER INSIDE. Someone stole it within the hour Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted November 9, 2008 Author Super User Posted November 9, 2008 We'll probably trash it. It needs a $300 repair job to get it running right. Quote
Super User fourbizz Posted November 9, 2008 Super User Posted November 9, 2008 so when they pick up their free tv, it would only take 300 to get it going, lol Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted November 9, 2008 Author Super User Posted November 9, 2008 I was thinking more along the lines of giving it to a repair shop for parts? Quote
=Matt 5.0= Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Just do like we do. Put the new TV on top of the old broken one.... Quote
Super User Muddy Posted November 9, 2008 Super User Posted November 9, 2008 I was thinking more along the lines of giving it to a repair shop for parts? Any trade schools in your district that could use the parts, frame etc...... Quote

SOmeone will buy that even if they know they will have to put 300 in it. Its alot cheaper then a new one. Sell it. Quote
Super User cart7t Posted November 11, 2008 Super User Posted November 11, 2008 I was thinking more along the lines of giving it to a repair shop for parts? Not a whole lot of use for parts out of a set that old. Come February of next year, when the world as we know it ends when TV broadcasting goes completely to digital, there won't be a whole lot of desire for anyone to spend any kind of money to fix those old klunker big screens up. Besides, most of the manufacturers are starting to make the parts for those sets unavailable anyway. Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted November 11, 2008 Author Super User Posted November 11, 2008 It's gone, we gave it away. Did I mention that HD is awesome? Quote

Super User Hookemdown. Posted November 11, 2008 Author Super User Posted November 11, 2008 Hookem, PLEASE, PLEASE tell me that you do NOT have a new Hewlett-Packard plasma TV in your home. No sir, I do not. 52'' Sony Bravia Just in time for TT @ OU Quote
