Plan A: I would point him here:

to window shop. Most TV cabinets are less-interesting versions of "cabinets that were meant to be cabinets only". Then send him to the Salvation Army, Goodwill, etc, to find something suitable, a little cheaper. Let him make a frankenset out of something prettier, without harming anything permanently.
Plan B: If it MUST be an old TV cabinet, offer to help him find one, your "finder's fee" is to keep all the worthless guts.

Agreed, not all TVs need to be saved, and relax. But it's really rude to buy one and throw all the tubes, CRT, transformers, etc into a dumpster because you want to make a "really cool" bar that probably won't be as really cool as you thought and then you get bored with it and throw the whole thing in a dumpster anyway. It's just disrespectful to the past and a "waste".
