shame i am not more local to you , i would have taken the gamble to get a nice tv but nevermind , wish there was a better system at the tip/recycling centre to rescue items like this before they get crushed :( i know at newton abbott there is a re-use shop on the site of the tip and i believe it donation based. I have used it a lot of times and my sister loves all the bargains she gets there. my most local tip that has a second hand shop attached is in straford upon avon and that pretty good but they can't do electrically stuff anymore for some reasons.. i keep thinking there must be some way via social media or the internet to putting people together with this stuff? maybe put it on ebay for 3 days see if you can sell it to a tv repair person or someone with the skills and stop it getting crushed if you got the time n space to store it a bit longer but nevermind it one in million tv that will get crushed this year.
