Picked this up tonight. Old dude and lady owned it. Bought it about 6 mos ago
( i have the $500 reciept and everything!!)
Supposedly worked fine untill a thunderstorm then supposdly would not power on. However she said everything else on the powerstrip still worked. She assumed it got hit by lightning. I have my doubts bieng everything else on the strip survived.
I look it over, nice. Not a scratch on it. Took it home. Plugged it in, it works!!!! However there is no sound with any input. It looks to me like mabye the old man had it apart, i see screwdriver marks on the screwheads.
My theory is that it was electronically locked up due to power variance:
( power here tends to get weak at times during storms- even my personal set sometimes gets locked up after a big nasty storm) and mabye thats why it wouldnt power up.
I think the old man took it apart and with some luck scratched a trace or left something unplugged. Obiously he didnt try plugging the set back in otherwise i wouldnt have ended up with it. It will get a good lookover while apart. Pics and more fun to come soon!
