Yes, it was a good save!
Ask the person that has control of the disposition of electronic salvage, to let you see the items, before they cut the cords off or do other damage. The worst, they could say is "NO". 
BTW, My main interest is small screen color sets, like your Wards set. As stated before, I do have several small screen B/W sets, including "jelly bean sets" but they were mostly "Freebees". |
OK, that's cool. So how long does it take exactly to "wake up" a picture tube that's been asleep for a long time? Just wondering because I've been trying to use that Montgomery Wards TV fairly often recently and it seems that its still a little dim yet and hasn't completely woken up yet.
What's interesting is that they did put a couple of small portable TVs on the floor, one of them a Realistic 5" portable color TV with Video inputs and outputs on it and an external antenna connection from 1989, and the other one a Hitachi 5" B & W portable from the early 1980s with external antenna connections as well (both had their original rod antennas intact yet). Anyways It seems if the TV is a small enough portable TV they will put it out on the floor. They also had a late 1980s Sony Watchman in their donation bin one day that was still in really good shape yet that was I think scrapped out.
