    After coming up empty-handed on numerous FB posts, marketplace searches and weekly thrift store trips for over a year - I decided to take a hilarious risk of ordering a working vintage 80's TV from Ebay (19") a few weeks back. I would find a reputable seller (someone who sells vintage electronics and has positive feedback) and order it.

    So far, I'm 0 for 1, but I have two more TVs coming in.

    The first TV was put in a box with packing peanuts. lol A 40lb tv rattling around loose in a box, you can imagine the condition when it arrived. Oddly enough, the tube survived. Like atoms in a particle accelerator, it bounced around and smashed the plastic housing into dozens of pieces. Refund issued.

    I am awaiting my second TV, which is set to arrive tomorrow. We'll see how that works out.

    A third TV is on the way from Canada, and due to arrive the 19th. If I end up with two working TVs, it'll be worth it - if I end up with one, I'll be happy. If I end up with none - I'm going to keep buying them.

    If everything goes well, I'll post a pic of my TV/VCR cart. Going through a lot of trouble just so I can watch my old STTNG and Elvira tapes (Thriller Video - missing four for the set!) on a cool vintage setup - but it'll be worth it!

    Today's project - rebuild Peter Cushing! If it could be done in The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958) then I could certainly give it a try lol! This Peter Cushing as Van Helsing statue used to belong to the late Brian Holland who started the Peter Cushing Association. Unfortunately at some point, it fell off a high shelf and broke into all the pieces you see here. Brian's daughter kindly donated the statue for me to repair. After lots of patience and gorilla glue, the statue is now back together and has joined my little collection by my computer.

    koozie - Search (bing.com)

    They're to keep your drink cool. I don't drink beer, but I DO drink can soda, but again, won't use them and they're just taking up room. Still kind of neat (thumbsu

    Crash Bandicoot as you know is the playstation game...

    And

    The Dark Fate Terminator koozie had "Carls Draperies" from in the movie, if you remember.... ???

    When Arnold as a Terminator is sitting around in time waiting to protect the hero from "other Terminators", but so much time goes by without anything "to do", that he takes up a family and a "cleaning drapes" business :roflmao:

    Which I thought was hilarious and a neat "koozie" :cheers: 

    That aku aku is awesome!recognize it instantly,have a t shirt of him lol
