My old 61" Pioneer Elite tv by turning it on and off over and over, of course ignoring my pleas to stop. I had the feeling when the last time happened that the TV was never coming back on. Sure enough I try it and its dead. I mess around with it to no avail. I give it last rights and head down to the store to get the new one.


Anyway, I don't know what was wrong with the old one and I try to give it to any neighbor that wants it in case they want to mess with it and try to fix it. Some folks like my FIL are like that. This is a 6k TV.

No one wants it, So I get started on the demolition. BUT first I think I'll give it one more try. I hook up an antenna, plug it in and walla it fires up. I reset the convergence and now everyone comes out of the woodwork and wants it. Yeah right. So I end up with a 60" great TV in the garage. My wife says she'll never see me again.

Heh

If you do get a new TV, don't be stepping into the store unless you intend to buy.

Good one.

By the way, 85. I've worked a lot of upgrades using that same ploy. "Gee, honey. The thing just konked out and I have no idea why! Guess we need a new one." :D

My little boy killed a Technics tape deck doing that. Sadly, it did not come back to life.

Oh, and, FWIW, the word is voila! (not walla). :D

Hell I wouldn't buy a new TV until you trade in for a new kid first.

i think you mean viola No, I meant "walla?".

He meant "voilą".

You meant "viola", a stringed instrument of the violin family, slightly larger than a violin, tuned a fifth lower, and having a deeper, more sonorous tone.
