I explored many abandoned buildings when i was a teenager, and i did came across a couple of places packed full of TVs and assorted old electronics.

One was a huge early 1900s brickwork kiln, someone stuffed the kiln chamber with old electronics, appliances, bicycles, furniture and other assorted junk, lots of 60s tube B/W sets in there, most were smashed or missing parts so i just took the speakers, knobs and tubes from them, a couple were intact and i saved them along with cool 50s tube phonograph, this was back in 1992, the kiln is still there today but it's completely grown over by bushes and access to it is absolutely impossible.

The other was an old barn on the riverside, there were about ten 50s and 60s TV sets in there, they were all smashed up by vandals and again i took the tubes, knobs and speakers from them.

Today there are still quite a few abandoned building around here, including one fairly large and cool 1920s summer colony, but exploring this place is quite risky due to squatters and junkies living in the buildings, this problem has gotten a lot worse in the last few years, i've done a couple of trips in there on my mule so that i'd be able to get away fast if need to, but of course i can't get to the upper floors, you don't really want to take a chance and ride a half ton beast on a possibly unsafe floor
