Pickup only in Sydney due to wait / bulkiness. I wanted to send it to my friend in Adelaide, but shipping is prohibitively expensive.

Loewe Xelos 81cm CRT has been sitting in the garage for some time now and the wife says it has to go (I inherited a Loewe ART 46" LCD that has replaced it).

It's in perfect condition. Analog only tuner so needs a STB. Component to Scart cable (hard to find) included. I should be able to find all original manuals and full circuit diagram as well. I also have somewhere a VGA to scart (home-made) cable that will work provided the video card can be made to output at 15Khz (and also outputs 5V on one of the pins to drive the sync on green circuitry).

It weighs around 49KG so it is a heavyweight.

If no interest I'll try freecycle, if that fails it will probably go to landfill 🙁

I still think that this TV gives a better picture than the LCD (esepcially on SD material) Oled TV's probably better it, though there is something about analogue display that seems to smooth out the mpeg artifacts.

Attached picture was taken about 7 years ago. At the time playing music from the HTPC.

Tony.
