Damn!

Just look at the listings on the left side....

I was checking out prices for a M312B. There is one locally going for $300. Perhaps he wants to trade for a dual core cpu and motherboard?

That is really bizarre. I hope he never has a nice car for sale on eBay motors…

Hey, don't you guys think it feasable that some guy tried to poke around an obviously clean 312, only to lose sight of how far he'd gotten and be faced with a completely disassembled mixer, being unable to put it back together ? Now he's selling it for parts!

No doubt... it happened to me all the time when I was a kid taking apart my mom's kitchen appliances and my dad's radios, TVs and such.

By the way… something I discovered when I was about 12 years old… did you know that if you get a screwdriver within about 6 inches of the suction cup on the red wire (see arrow below) a little lightning bolt will jump out and knock you on your ass... and afterward you will jabber incessantly to your dad for several hours about politics, religion, girls, your favorite foods, the meaning of life, if there are separate dog and cat heavens, or if they just get along, how much you enjoyed vacation in the Smokey Mountains etc... until you finally pass out on the couch?

Oh well, the rest is history.

I really needed more supervision...

And don't forget.....

.... That the CRT is a big cap and can hold a charge for quite some time!
