I'm not sure if I mentioned it here but I have some photos from the
office building that I was talking about 2 wks ago. There's more rooms
of this, some are mostly 70's stuff, there's 4 floors of stuff here -
all jam packed. But the other problem is getting a bigger flashlight as
there's no electric in the building. They only have one floor being
lighted at a time with a generator as they clean it out.. It's slow
going as they only spend 1 or 2 times a week to cleanup the place. But I
can reserve any TV's if they know someone is going to pick them up. My
buddy's shop is running out of space, so there's little chance of
storing any more TV's for a future pickup/delivery. This place is
located in Pittsburgh,PA. I plan to get some more photos next wknd of
any interesting TV's.

Not sure what the story is there (looking back about a month didn't
give a clue), but I think most of those TV's are more 50's vintage,
maybe 60's, definitely not 70's.

some are from the 40's too I think - but I'm no expert. I didn't take
any photo's of the 70s or later stuff, but it is about 70% of total
inventory there. Also, I didn't bother to take photos of the water
damaged antique TV's, since the cabinet wood is splitting and
delaminating - the roof has a very bad leak. Those might be a total lost.

I wonder if these folks might be able to point you to collectors or
organizations in the area:

yes, I did recall that there's a local Antique Wireless Radio club here
in this region too, I'm hoping they might know more people. I went ahead
and contacted both of them.

You'd be surprised at what restorers can do to repair water damage these
days! Even if the cabinet's a complete loss, the chassis and CRT are
probably still useful to someone. I'd certainly find some early TV
collectors to talk to; rec.antiques.radio+phono may be worth a post.

I
just rcvd a reply from that organization, it was kind of lackluster at
best. Maybe if you know others there, it would spread the word a bit more.

I guess
that's all possible, especially the parts. I'll take some pics
of them too when I stop by this wknd.
