[QUOTE=Captain Video;2365402]I think the state of mind, the spirit, the mentality of a place might be also important on determining if something like old TVs will survive or not. I believe, from personal experience, that hot places with beaches are less favorable to vintage TV collectors. Here in Brazil, the first two cities to have television were São Paulo ( September 18, 1950 ) and Rio de Janeiro ( January 20, 1951 ). Very old sets, even a few roundies that most likely might have shown the inaugural broadcast still appear in São Paulo today. In Rio de Janeiro it's extremely hard to find sets from even the late 50's or early 60's.
The fact that so little seems to have survived in Rio de Janeiro puzzles me

I wonder how many people in Rio who could afford a Television in the early 1950's took their sets with them when they (and their jobs) moved to Brasilia.
