Yes, most of the good old TVs seem to be in Michigan...and everywhere else except northeastern Ohio. I live near Cleveland and hardly ever see any postings here from anyone in this area, except fsjonsey who must be somewhere nearby. As far as old TVs, radios and such being listed on eBay and/or CL from this area are concerned, though, I rarely see anything from this area. Is there something about Michigan (the Detroit area and other parts of the state) that makes it more desireable for old TVs, radios and such than elsewhere on the Great Lakes? Cleveland had three TV stations (one for each major network) by 1950, so I'd think there would still be folks in this area who may have their (or their folks') first TV set stashed away in a garage, attic, basement, etc. by now...in questionable condition, of course, after all this time.
