HEY: It's sure great to see that Goodwill is finally recognizing the interest in old TVs. For years, they would not even put nonworking TVs in their stores. Straight in the bin. I hope they set an example for Salvation Army and the other major charity thrift stores.
I recall in the late 70s, my mother would take me to the Salvation Army store in Santa Monica at Olympic and (14th St?) to look for old TVs. They had 2 buildings; one which only had good later-model TVs, and the as-is store out back. It had a lot of 21AXP22-era color sets, and a ton of huge old B&W consoles. Those were the days!
