I told the boss about it, didn't hear anything for a couple days, then yesterday PM he invites me to come along.  I said I'd think about it.

I just want to know what's going to be there.  Don't want to waste my time, ya know?

I called and got very little info.  Everything's supposedly in nice and working shape, and there are no pins.

I fired up the Gunblade yesterday.  Projection monitor, DARK.  Think either the coolant is contaminated or the tubes are shot.  What do you expect, it's like 12 years old.

I guess it was worth your time after all, huh?

Nope, didn't go.  Boss did, took Mumbles.  He bought 2 1/2 truckloads of stuff.  Mumbles took the 1st truckload, then Cool Guy came back the next day, boss came with a rented truck and they got the rest.

So I plugged it in on Wednesday to find what I found.

If it is the coolant... is something like that fixable?  Can you just replace coolant?

I don't know how 2 replace it, but I've seen it for sale in a catalog...
