Why not try to put it on e-bay?

Maybe there is a person out there who wants to break it apart by himself and use the parts as spare...

I once sold a broken MX, where the buyer wanted the cabinet and contrast screen, which was in excellent condition.

I don't know who would do this for you. I suggested it, because I came across someone selling his Avant in pieces on eBay a while ago. This might be too much trouble, though. The pieces which seem the most popular are the set top box controller, and the DTS card. However, your TV may not have these. Mark

no idea how I'd break the unit or what the sellable parts would be or what they'd look like! Do you know anyone I could contact (in London) who might collect the unit to break it up themselves?

How much does a tube for the avant cost?

Unfortunately, the tube of an Avant is the one thing we can't repair! They're also hard + expensive to change. You may want to "break" the unit and sell the parts. Mark

yes, just found manual. It's a beovision avant with built in video. measures approx 29" wide, 40" high.

So... anyone want it? We are moving and can't store it and can't afford the repair (haven't checked, but guessing it would be expensive, right?)

So all it costs is a broken back! :D

Heck, that's a pretty nice deal.

It's a later 28" curved Avant/VCR.

Is that an Avant?

I can find

Item no: 1810967

Type: 8133

And a serial number, but I'm sure it's not that you want.

Also says Ministero PT 4/03460/20742

Does that help?

Um, I don't know. I'll have a look in the morning and let you know (TV is in room over baby's bedroom - don't want to wake him now! )

What's the model number? Should be on a label on the back, and looks something like "84/23".

BeoVision TV from about 2000. No blue colour as tube needs replacing. Otherwise was working last time we tried it. We need to move and have no space/time to repair. Available free if you can collect from North London, and carry it down a flight of stairs (it's heavy!)

No remote or cables.
