I wanted to throw one thing in about console (i.e., wood casing) TV's. I've been following some vintage electronics collectors' groups and it seems like there may be a small but dedicated market for some of these things. Of course, older is better and "American" brands seem to have preference. In this case, the fact that no one wants them for donation or recycling has been a boon for the sellers, as they effectively have no competition (you can't just swing into Goodwill and buy one for a quarter of what they want for the same thing on eBay). As always, shipping can be a bear but if you live in an area where there are enough of these collectors, they don't appear to mind coming to you. I believe I saw one sell for $200 but I may be mistaken; it was a three-digit figure, though.



I don't get many and our population density is low so my own pool for these is limited. Thus, I may try this, even though it's unlikely to yield anything valuable except maybe a one-off cash boost. But if you could get your hands on a couple, you could try this out and see if it might provide some balancing revenue for the costs of processing some other units. It's picking the bones but, hey, if you might get into it, anyway, how would it hurt?
