Anybody know what happened to the very large, very heavy, all metal cabinet RCA that I spotted perched on the dumpster out by the front lot around 12:30 on Saturday?
Edit: TV Parts everywhere, yokes, vert-block-osc xformers, brighteners, a few flybacks, etc.

HI NoPegs, that 1981 BW Zenith was my donation, working when I brought it.
Came from an estate in Lancaster about 12 years ago along with a 1949 Emerson 544, 1960 Emerson 23" and 1970 Philco 9" B310W.
The owner was a never-married nurse at nearby Community Hospital. Her entire TV ownership history and everything else was there.
I did see an RCA CTC9 "Abbott" with legs included, that sold pretty quickly for $200. Same ex-tv repair guys from Philly that sold me a working Sencore VA-48 for $5 one year. I suspect he may have more treasures in September.
