I always feel this way, what I don't know, won't hurt me!
No kidding, I was at the county's HHW (household hazardous waste) drive-thru collection garage a few years ago. I saw a Philco Split chassis 17", RCA metal 14" and two others I could not ID sitting on a table off to the side, as if on display.
I complemented them on their saves and handed one of my cards.
About a year later I was back and the four sets were gone, the guy there told me the stuff got stolen and they weren't saving any more
I called the dude in charge and he told me they get paid by the pound, some company in Balty-more.
