Pluggers by Rick McKee for August 08, 2014

Oh, heck yeah, the TV with the built-in VHS player? Gotta get that one fixed. They don’t make them anymore!

What, not even to a donation center?

remember having to check the tubes with meters to see which one was bad

I’ve been told by many repairmen that, in many instances, replacement parts and installation exceed the cost of a new set.

I always get a chuckle about how this strip shows vehicles zipping along with all 4 wheels off the ground (with pebbles flying). No doubt a commentary on the type of roads in the area!

Please, not the dump! Even those old Plugger sets have things that should go to electronic recycling. Around here, Goodwill is a collection point.

They have TV’s in vehicles? Can’t fix TV’s today because it’s all just one big circuit board with no replaceable parts.

“Oh, wow – we had a…”We had a huge Sony set identical to the one in the first “Poltergeist” film, where Carol Anne Freeling had her hands on the screen and said, “They’re here.”.I creeped me out when I watched the movie on the same set in the film…

and has a CRT in it, not a flat, LCD, or plasma screen in it

when someone tells a plugger that his vehicle is leaking oil, he replies “what, more than usual?” lol

please take them to the dump..In North Carolina, USA, it is illegal to place electronics in the dump.

I was a hit with all my friends when they bought new TV’s, I owned a station wagon which could haul it home for them and keep it dry in case it rained.
