Pioneer Pro-510 52" TV for $1.00

It's Almost Free if you want it! Just haul it away. Fix it up.

I have a Pioneer Pro-510 52" widescreen TV with fluctuating brightness issues which require resoldering the Power Board. There is a long thread on this in the AVS Forum under Pioneer Pro-510 Problems. In all other respects, it works like a new set. It has less than 700 hours on the tubes. I've decided, reluctantly, to almost give this TV away and purchase a new Kuro Plasma.

An AVS Forum member says he'll take on refurbishing the powerboard for a reasonable fee and I'm sure he' do it for you too, or you can do it yourself if you have a good understanding of soldering procedures. I'll give you his email is you desire.

If you live within driving distance of Alexandria, Virginia, have a truck, and at least two friends to load it, it's yours!

Respond via PM if interested.

Owners manual and original packing materials available. I'm unable to lift (bad back), so remember, you'll need to bring muscle.

I've had one of these sets for 9 years now, and it's still going strong.

Unlike David's, mine has thousand upon thousands of viewing hours (it's our primary living room set, and always has been, including Wii duties ), and the picture is still fantastic. No, it won't resolve at the level of the latest 1080p sets (I'd say true resolution is about 1100x600, effective), but it's nice to have a smooth analog looking picture painted by a swept beam, rather than fixed pixels.

I also had the fluctuating brightness issue, and I resoldered the power supply board myself. No issues since. It was a relatively simple job, actually.

With only 700 hours, it's a true bargain for someone. In fact, I'd take it myself if I didn't already have one, since I'm only about 1/2 hour away.

WOW - very tempting but I don't know where I would put such a beast in my house.

Two non-biased observers give this deal a thumbs-up. How about it folks? Anyone want the absolute best deal on this website today?

Remember, haul it away, fix it up, and you've got one of the best TVs available anywhere...oh yea, it is a bit large but isn't that a bragging point.
