oldtimer, you should already know this, if you don't know where you're going you might not get there.

why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see
and baby baby baby do you like it?

There's still time to change the road you're on.
So is this something along the lines of Yogi Berra's quote, "When I see a fork in the road I take it."

Wouldn't buy anything LG, I have been told by a couple repair guys that everything they make is junk but keeps them in business.
I know what you mean, check out the LG refrigerators where the light would stay on. How do I know about that, except that I caught it before the meltdown. It turned out to be a bad relay on the board. Now I only keep one light in the refrigerator.
But, as far as OLED TVs go, the only other alternative is Sony, which is overpriced and we lived with the famous Sony Vertical Line Syndrome for several years before we chose the LG OLED. In my opinion the LG OLED is better than the Sony in many ways.
I'll whisper so Dave doesn't hear, but Vizeo has a pretty poor reputation too from what I understand.

Nah, you're gold. You know that.
Your Viz that had the problem, was it the same model I just ordered?
Trust me I've already got my Plan B in order should Plan A go belly up.
So you DO have the 65" LG OLED on standby?

what size is it ? 55, or 65 ?
Price ?
On 11/15/2018 at 10:01 PM, Schu said:I am thinking something like 1800$.

Looking for a good home.
You're not kidding, and even dads have a tough time paying the price! BUT, I was in the same situation, I asked on Amazon about getting a 55" OLED instead of the 65" OLED, as it was MUCH less, and he said, "Save your money and get the 65 inch" and he was right. It is an incredible TV, expensive yes, but worth the price. When I bought too, there was not even a remote possibility of a deal like Schu is offering, it was new or nothing. Here, you're getting a year-old TV, essentially the same as this year's features AFAIK, for a huge price reduction.
I have exactly the same TV, mine is a year-and-a-half old. If somebody walked into my house and said they'd give me $1800 for it, or even $2000, I wouldn't sell. I'd just have to go out and get another one.

I have never been so insulted in my entire life. oldtimer, there's no point in changing it to kcircled. Get it, "no point" in a circle!! And now that I've introduced a pun, I will, once again, have to DEMAND that this thread be LOCKED IMMEDIATELY.

OK, I'm also going to
ask, no DEMAND, that Thaddeus Smith be banned for life from ever posting again, and this thread IMMEDIATELY LOCKED.I'd copy what he posted, but it is so extraordinarily frightening that I'd be just as guilty as he is.

Anyone familiar with Dr. Burzynski and his cancer treatments?
I'm not, but my mom knows about him. She's 90 and I know that she's said that he has been hounded by the FDA. I thought somehow his license was revoked, but at some point it was restored. One book my mom has mentioned is "The 100 Year Lie," which I guess is something along the same lines.
An anecdotal story about my mom, with a different doctor in Michigan back in the 1930's. She was losing her eyesight, and my granddad worked with somebody who knew of this eye doctor in Michigan. So he took her to Michigan on many occasions to get special eye-drops from him, and said that long lines of people used to wait to get to see him. He was called a "quack" by the medical experts back then. But, my mom was on the verge of going blind, but after that she was able to continue being able to see, not 20-20 of course, but still much improved over the alternative. I don't know his name or what happened to him. Now, just recently, she has used some special eye-drops made from blood drawn from her, and that was supposed to be very helpful to her also.

I've been asked a few times, will I break up the center channel(s) and the Epic's,
Yes, I will.
I can also put the C7 drivers back in the oak cabinet, and the KV4 drivers back in the black cabinet.
That said, the C7 in oak, with the KV4 drivers, is a very nice match.
4 hours ago, wvu80 said:That's probably a good idea. All of the speakers you have are highly sought out on their own. By splitting them up it makes the overall cost lower per unit.
GLWYS. Those modded CF-4's are the star of the show.
I thought it was a mighty nice matching setup with the KV4 drivers in the C7 excellent condition cabinet.
What I didn't understand was that it was required to buy those three and the other C7 drivers in the admittedly less than perfect black cabinet.
So I'd think at least an optional choice, with a price, should be the setup as shown, which looks excellent, the two CF-4s and the modified C7. I just don't see purchasing and shipping an extra speaker that the buyer would then be selling and shipping, maybe 2000 miles back to a new buyer.

I'm thinking the deal on the LG 65" OLED can be beat by a wide margin by Chris at Cleveland Plasma. I guess it's time I call Chris and tell him I'm Dave and get that OLED TV to WV.

Few more blemishes than I thought. Thanks for finding.
Any idea of the original price?
You're welcome.
The ad listed $5999 (So UNDER $6K!!) and was listed from 3/15/18 to 4/13/18.
I found it by hifishark, searching la scala ii cherry, then expired listings.
Now, technically I'm assuming they are the same, as how common would La Scala II in Cherry be in Central IL?

Ill give him 2500 for the LSii's
I will have to do research, but I think if you check on hifishark, you can see the expired ad from the dealer in Springfield, IL about these same speakers. IIRC, the dealer ad showed more close-up photos of imperfections that aren't shown on the current ad. So I don't know if these imperfections have been fixed, or just attempted to be overlooked. If I can find it I'll post the link to the older ad.
