Actually, i bought this TV from montgomery ward's which is also defunct now. Never cared much for service merchandise. Although they were both right across the street from each other. And yes, i have the old 27" sanyo. One reason i bought it was because it was one of the few "large" televisions under 500 bucks that had audio out so i could use it on my now also 15 year old Sony surround system that i got on sale for 699 (it was 999) at the time. Its rediculous how much stuff cost back then compared to now. Not to mention that now i can actually afford to buy the stuff without scraping up an entire summer worth of working.
Oh ya, did i mention that the sanyo weighs 90 pounds and is sitting on top of my 5 foot tall dresser? Ya, that was fun....
