    FREE LX2500 Whiteline, LX5500 in rosewood and VX5000 black

    Unlike the other fine freebe recently posted you are better off assuming the worst.

    I too am a Devon bauy but hail from glorious East Devon, east of the Exe, though these vintage broken B&O classics can be collected from near Frome in Somerset or they could be delivered in Bristol or Exeter, within reason.  I do not intend driving them around to your home for you to look them up and down only to say nah! The delivery might be at my convenience.

    The LX 2500 is preety damn knackerd as I see it havn't powered it up for 5 years but the case aint bad

    The LX5500 was giving sterling service a week or so ago and then it took 15 mins for the picture to warm up and now it won't.  The sound works great so I assume the speakers are rot free and it has a great case and speaker covers.

    The VX5000 I have not used for months, thinking of it I haven't used a VHS for years.  I can only assume it has the usual Capstan faults

    The missus is having a bit of a do and the landing needs clearing ans I am using the LX5500 as a coffee table, mind you the clear out has been a long time coming.

    If no one wants I'll understand CRTs don't fetch much if working and these doin't without effort and money, but if you need spares help yourselves.

    If there are no takers nextr step will be freecycle and then the recycling centre.  It will break my heart but it will be less stressful than divorce.

    Cheers

    PS I am temted to go off on one about how much better East Deon is to West. (oh and I woin't be around to help you load up the goods on Sat as I will be in Leeds) I'll save that for another day!

    Gary!  Please don't send these to the recycling center.
    If you don't have any takers in the next few days, I am interested.
    What kind of vehicle are you travelling to Leeds in?

    I will resist responding to the gibe , but wonder whether there is something in the air down here that attacks LX5500s.  Mine gave up the ghost very recently (tube) and foolishly I gave in to the domestic threats and it went as part of my 'buy one get rid of one' deal with my partner.   For some reason she failed to see the logic of keeping a non-working TV on the grounds that it stiilll looked great and that someone would have one I could use a  donor unit! 

    You've proved me right.   I'm off to renegotiate the deal.

    We'll have to agree to disagree about which bit of God's own County in best.  And yes that Avatar is of THE St James' Park.Big Smile

    I have even had to change my car insurance, but that's another story

    Going once!

    The family are arriving in two days, no claim today it will be freecycle tomorrow and if no takers the Civic Amenity Site on Thursday
