Do you break down televisions?

If I was curbside shopping in my truck I could strip them on the tailgate and leave the glass at Best Buy before going home. With a bike and cold fingers, I take them home and let them drain for a while.

A lot of people scrap televisions around here (Chicago), myself included. I actually found an old one recently, a brand I never heard of before. CBS? Not the CBS television network, a CBS television, complete with old vacuum tubes and a rather worn out rotary tuner. I never knew there was a CBS brand of television. Has anyone ever heard of that brand? I can't find a manufacture date on the television, but guessing it might be from the early to mid sixties. Can't find any info on the web on it either.

I'm 63 years old so I've seen or heard of about every brand of TV out there. I've never heard of a CBS model. I even tried to think of something that might look like that if the lettering was worn. On the back of the set should be a sheet of specifications, which should show the make and model. It might be on the inside of the backing.
