Your a #%*&*%$#!! Nick. You know that, don't you.........

It's the Merrill's younger, simpler, and probably punkish brother.

Not nice, Nick!

Here is a town that should be FULL of them, though:

Sorry, couldn't resist. lol
My folks had one just like it, I think it's a Dimensia or whatever.

If it's the 31" Merrill, then I have a nearly new (3 hours of use) CRT with a ding in the screen glass that would fit it.

I got suckered too. I thought the image would never load fast enough.

Laugh of the day! You suck LOL

[miniman82]

I appreciate the latitude offered by this site to crack wise on occasion, some 'other' sites would not be so kind. Gonna miss you guys this convention, I'll be there in spirit.

In the St Louis CL that would be listed as an antique (really).
There was a guy who had a scroungy tube caddy with some tubes for $500. He said whomever bought it would own a piece of history!

I think/believe you (anyone reading this) will find that the tv/television in the original posters link (Miniman82) is an RCA from the 1990's. Apparently what happened was, this TV/television (unless it was purchased and relocated) is in Merrill, IA (Iowa) which is near Souix City, Iowa. I do not think (nor assume) that the listing was intentionally worded/phrased in such a way as to deceive/trick potential buyers into thinking this was in fact RCA's very first (1st) color TV/television, known as the "Merrill" (aka CT-100). I would doubt even if the original seller/owner of the TV/television in the aforementioned ad (link) is aware that RCA made a TV/television that had an advertising name of "Merrill". This was most likely and merely a coincidence that an RCA TV/television was advertised as such. The intent of including "Merrill" into the ad was to give prospective buyers a quick reference of where the TV/television was located so that they (the buyer) could estimate the distance relative to their (the buyers) own location. I think it would be of benefit to the seller/owner to be advised that the particular phrasing of his/her ad can be (and has been) potentially misleading as we (typically those associated with vintage/classic electronic equipment) have witnessed with Miniman82's post/link. If the object of the post/link was merely an attempt in which to imply a joke as to strike shock/excitement into the readers/viewers, then it apparently did what it (the thread title) was intended, but if such action(s) is/are repeated, others may soon disrespect the relevance of the original posters threads as some do not necessarily enjoy such joke(s)/humor.
