JVC TM-1000PS (10-inch JVC PVM-like monitor, it is very 🥰)
Hii, I found this one in a Turkish Flea market in Ayrinci, Ankara.
So, I always wanted to go to the flea market there, bc I heard it was huge. Bc I live kn Germany, and Germany is a little bit boring place, bc u will mostly find an used not cleaned lunch box for 30 euros, or some plastic scrap, besides a few. Anyways, we went there. I was very locked in, bc oh boy, it was like heaven on earth, everywhere old VHS, DVDs, CDs, M-Cassettes, very old PCs, Militaria, so basically every technology on earth was there. Like it was so full, there were at least 100 aisles, I loved it. It was like an American one😍.
I was going aisle by aisle, and saw many CRTs, they were mostly small 6 inch colour car CRT TVs, actually exactly what I wanted, but I was too curious, so decided to check the whole market out before buying smth. I spotted this beautiful small baby adorable TM-1000PS running, while the BLUE CHECK was one. And I immediately asked the seller how much he wants for it. He said that the lowest price for me would be 2250 TRY, so roughly 43 euros, or like 40-41 dollars ig. It had some very faint burn in, but so faint, that u need to look very closely, and also, u cannot see it when it is on. And as you can see, the front panel saw smth in it’s lifetime , but I see it as a badge, and that it is a loyal one.
After I bought it, I realised, that I do not even live in Turkey 😭. What shall I do with it, I thought. Shall I sell it, or what? But bc I am a little bit stubborn, I made a plan; I will take it with me to the plane. Yes, very dumb idea, but there were not better options. And it is a small one, I thought that, it is doable. Spoiler alert; it was. I took it onto the plane, it went through the security, they only did a 2nd inspection for it, that was it. When I came home, I opened it, to clean it, AND OMFG, it was so nasty, like the chime, and dusty were so thick, that it was like an ecosystem. But no matter what, I cleaned😍. Btw, when I saw it for the 1st time, I thought it was a Sony PVM, but then I saw the JVC logo.
Also, do u think that 43 is a good price? I saw someone selling it for 350 on eBay, but it was also in a much better condition.
What do u think?
