My dad put our only TV out with the trash because it would not turn on. It was a tube B&W model and I fixed it by soldering the power cord directly to the chassis, bypassing a bad connector on the rear panel. I put it in my bedroom and claimed it as mine since it was in the trash. My dad let me keep it for a couple days until my 5 siblings complained. I was 10 at the time.
