OK.  Heres the situation.  I have A TV that is not working and I was
wondering what can use some of the insides for?  (With respect to home
robotics).  It stopped working durring an electric storm and I dread taking
to an electronic shop to get it fixed.  Yes, I did replace the fuse and as soon
as I turned it on i poped again.  I know that it won't be any time soon before 
I get around to trying to fix it(like this decade) so I have decide to donate it
to my robotics hobby.  

The specs,  lets see: it about 17 inches
		      has a infared remote
                      and doesn't work as a tv.
So, there has to some good parts in it.  right?
I can't be hauling this thing around (wife reasons) so I want to salvage the
parts that I might be able to use and the scuddle the thing. 
Any suggestions?
Come on be creative, I've given up on the thing.  If nothing else
I could always toss it from a tall building!
thanks 
mike
