Probably, Mexico!

Building and euro plugs, make me think south of the border or Africa....Gotta be someplace warm for an uninsulated building like that to work.

Agree - definitely not in a monsoon region either. One of the prolific authors over on Jestine Yong's site is from Sri Lanka, and everything is rusty.

Africa or the Mideast - Iraq, Iran, UAE, Bahrain all come to mind.

Viet Nam? Can't quite make out the license plate on the bike.

I would leave the security gates open & hope someone
stole everything.
Mexico makes sense. Almost all the sets look 100% US & its
definatly a warm climate.

I saw one or two Hyundai sets - never saw one in the states.....and somebody pointed out the cords with Euro two-pin plugs....

I see a cardboard Dove Soap box in English and standard U.S. type plugs.
Can't really see it but the Motorcycle looks like it has a U.S. Licence plate, possibly California.

It's somewhere where that cache of goodies is lucrative enough to guard with bars on the windows, but rain infiltration is not a worry. Or fire codes, safety egress, interior decoration, etc.

We have a winner!

Battambang, Cambodia, to be exact. The license plate actually says Battambang on the bottom.

Did you notice the equipment he had? Neither did I.

I guess if a good whack on the sided didn't fix it, the set is toast.

I was told that simple repairs are $10, major repairs are $25.

Should I check his "warehouse" to see if he has any 15G's or 21AX's, pulls or NOS, while I'm here??

And did you notice they were tuned to the Communist Vietnamese Government propaganda channel like all good Vietnamese should? The photo was probably a propaganda photo to show how technologically advanced Communist Vietnam is.

But in all honesty, it does look like they are a bit more advanced than the Cambodian tv repair shop :-)
