Wanted: an old/broken PROJECTION TV

Kieran from New Brighton

Are you disposing of an old/broken projection TV? I would like to have if and get the Fresnel lens from it.
It needs to be a projection TV, not an LED flat screen. See the website below that shows taking the Fresnel lens from projection TVs to make a huge sun light focusing collector.

Thanks, Kieran Scott.

PS, I will leave this add up for a long time... but I do not necessarily check the site very often. So if you have an old Projector TV, please call or text me on 0278 093 663.
Kind regards
Scotty

Poll: What could the Christchurch City Council fund if it didn't have to pay GST on rates?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger says GST on rates, currently taken by central government, would be better spent locally.

The comments follow an Infometrics analysis that found over $1.1 billion of rates revenue nationwide was collected by the Government in 2022 as GST.

According to Infometrics, $88.5m of that came from Christchurch city ratepayers. It would be enough to save the Christ Church Cathedral from ruin; restore the Dux de Lux seven times over; cover both the Art Centre and Orana Wildlife Park’s request for regular public funding for over 26 years; contribute to light rail in Greater Christchurch; or get the South Library rebuild completed.
