FREE: 32 inch CRT TV

[Dave in Houston]

Can anyone use a nice 32 inch CRT TV set?

It's a Toshiba model 32AF62. I think it was a pretty nice set in its day (manufacture date is August 2002).

I bought it used about 2 years ago when its predecessor TV died and I wasn't ready to change TV technology. I've been perfectly happy with it during that time. My Tivo just died, and it seems like that's reason enough to upgrade.

Note the dimensions:
Width - 34.5 in
Depth - 22.6 in
Height - 26.5 in
Weight - 147 lbs

It's upstairs, and it will probably take two strong bodies to get it down.

I'm not sure whether I still have the remote. (Edit: I found the remote and the manual.)

I'd rather give it away on TWT than sell it on Craigslist.

If you're interested, send me a PM.

Edit: I forgot to mention, I'm located in the far southwest suburbs of Houston.

This would be a great grab for someone who has a little one headed to college in the fall.

(And I don't blame you for not wanting to deal with CL... I hate that place! :P)

My son wanted to take a TV and an X-box to college last year.

I told him if he earned a 3.75 GPA or higher he could do it.

These beasts are heavy. I gave away a Sony FSCRT on the condition I wasn't going to load it.

Other than that, they do have a quality picture. Good luck on the give-away.

Maybe Good Will will come pick it up.

PM updated. Backing out. Thanks for putting this up for offer.

I guess I shouldn't be too surprised that there's not a lot of interest. I'm always among the last to adopt new home entertainment technology, so if it's obsolete to me, it's obsolete to 99% of Americans.

While it might work well in a dorm room, I'd hate to have to haul it up three flights of stairs. These things are huge!
