Jonathan,
Stuff like that surfaces occasionally. I like to keep an eye out for things I might not be interested in picking up for myself but that I know other collectors are looking for. Your profile doesn't indicate where you are. For gawdoffal heavy stuff like color TVs, except for the really valuable ones, shipping is frequently a deal-breaker, so local contacts are usually the most successful. I'll be happy to pick something up for you and pass it along at cost, and even hold it for a little while till we can meet up, but I won't lay out any significant chunk of money on something unless I KNOW someone wants it. So I'd need a cell phone number to be able to verify your interest on a specific item before I would take action on any unexpected finds.
BTW, that goes for anyone on this list. Send me your want list and if it doesn't conflict with mine, if I find something you're looking for, I'll grab it for you. We do this all the time in our local club and it works well, helps greatly to keep "marginal" collectibles (like TVs, which sadly still end up going to the dump around all the time around here), and helps keep the ol' garage from getting too empty!
