I've found it much easier to dispose of parts than to get someone to take on yet
another machine. That's probably what's up here. It's amazing what one will
do
to avoid simply tossing the things.

I just
can't see any logic in breaking up a machine that's functional to
seel it off as parts. The unit as a whole would command a premium that
the seller won't get from selling body panels and the card cage by
itself for $5 a pop.
This is essentailly throwing a working machine into the dumpster.
The seller has gone so far as to pull the deflection coil and
flyback transformer from the tube, as well as seperating the cables
and other small items. I don't agree with the destruction of a
functional machine like this but I don't see how the seperate
listings could be justified from the fee versus income of each of the
smaller items.
