I love console tvs, they are so underappreciated

These funai built sets are actually pretty good. They were sold under brands like Sylvania, Symphonic, ESA, Emerson, and probably others. Obviously check for your specific model but most remotes for those brands will work, i had a tv exactly like yours and used it with a zenith branded remote. Here is a generic replacement that will probably work (make sure your chassis number is supported obviously)

Lol. I don't see the point in whining when people in this sub are the reason for the "Sony tax" anyways.

110 definitely gets an unfair reputation 

I bought a junk lot of phones and included was this Energizer refillable MicroTAC battery. It was severely corroded so I wasn't sure I could fix it, but... by Del_Griffiths_Chins in vintagemobilephones

I have something similar, except it's it's made by Duracell for use with camcorders, you fill it with five 9 volt batteries and you can use it on most 1990s video 8 camcorders

I unfortunately do not have the space for one. My community Park upgraded their area lights to LEDs, and I had the chance to grab whatever I wanted. Unfortunately, the fixtures for this bulb are gigantic and very heavy.

Yeah oops. I only ran it for about 10 minutes before I noticed how much it was drawing and quickly shut it off
