I once found a nice TV set at the thrift store that had 'BOSE' sound built-in; sadly, it was bad. the speakers had rotted and only the cones remained
So i kinda passed on it. used to be a Zenith big screen too. it would've been a $25 TV with BOSE sound, but i guess it would be just as worthless to brag about as a 20-year old Mercedes Benz. brand doesn't matter unless you buy it new. i wouldn't want to be that 'hip' anyways.
Those who buy a really beat up Mercedes and then go to the West Side and brag about their new 'Benz are setting up a great recipe for an ass-whoopin' lol!
