YOU JUST FOUND AN OLD RADIO, TV, ETC AND YOU WANT TO SEE IF IT WORKS. I GUARANTEE, IF IT WAS MADE FROM THE 60'S BACK, IT WON'T, OR IT WON'T WORK SAFELY. HERE ARE A FEW QUESTIONS YOU NEED TO ANSWER.
1. DO YOU WANT TO HAVE A CAPACITOR EXPLODE AND POSSIBLY SPEW PCB'S AND OTHER NASTY SHIT ALL OVER YOUR HOUSE?
2. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO RISK HARD TO FIND PARTS, LIKE A POWER TRANSFORMER?
3. DO YOU POSSIBLY WANT TO SET YOUR HOUSE ON FIRE?
4. DO YOU WANT TO RISK DAMAGE FROM A HACK REPAIR YOU DIDN'T SEE?
5. DO YOU WANT A COMPONENT TO START SMOKING AND EITHER STINK UP THE HOUSE, OR SET OFF YOUR FIRE ALARMS (ESPECIALLY THE KIND THAT AUTOMATICALLY CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT)?
6. DID YOU CHECK FOR FRAYED AND DANGEROUS WIRING? DO YOU WANT TO GET LIT UP?
IF YOU ANSWERED "NO" TO ANY ONE OF THESE QUESTIONS, FOLLOW THIS:
NEVER PLUG IT IN AND TURN IT ON!
YOU NEED TO DO A COMPLETE INSPECTION FIRST. WE'RE GETTING TO THAT.
