Charlie, if you can spare the space you should save those old round color chassis...the flybacks, power transformers, etc can be very valuable when you need a replacement.
The old TV repair people I have known either diversified into stereo, car audio, phono, computer and printer repair which there is still some business for, or must have had a better situation for retirement as I have not known any that are or were in financial distress.
Much of the equipment, tubes, photofacts, and such from several old shops which are no longer operating is now used in ours. We have other sources of income and no debt so can afford to operate our repair shop, as the income from repairs and sales covers the electricity, insurance, and other operating costs.
