I have a 25" Sanyo TV (Model DS25830, Manufactured March 1989).  The tv 
looks fine except for a missing plastic power button (but you can still 
push it to turn it on).  The sound works fine on the tv but the tv will not 
tune channels in properly.  The picture is basically snow with faint snowy 
non-horizontally-synced images of the channel.  I did a search on google 
that seems to indicate that these sanyo tv's had this problem very often 
and all that is required to fix this is replacing resistor R508.  HOWEVER, 
I do not know if this is true and for all I know the TV could be completely 
unrepairable.   I looked at the circuit board quickly and could not even 
find a resistor labeled R508 so who knows.  I'm selling the TV completely 
as-is with no idea whether or not you can or can not fix it.  It might be a 
great deal of you or someone you know knows something about TV's.  Maybe 
some EE major would have better luck than I.  I don't have the tools or 
expertise to work on a TV safely.   

Price:  whatever you want to pay (if anything).

Email me your offer and I'll sell it to whoever offers the most and is 
willing to pick it up from Sixth Street West on west campus.  There is an 
elevator in the building.
