I turned the corner at a giant antique mall one day to be greeted by about a half dozen old tv sets. Two of them-a c.1950 table model & a 23" Motorola console-had been "tanked". No water but the aquariums were there, all set up and ready to go. The other sets were still complete. It was tempting to rescue at least one of them but the prices were all too high.

There is a real supply & demand problem with these 21" bw consoles. There are just not enough of us to rescue all of them. I have several I will give away (or close to it) and after years of trying nobody has yet claimed them. I had to part out some to make room, and I feel bad about it but sometimes you just don't have a choice. But, I couldn't see myself gutting a working tv like the one in the sale. The set would need to have major problems.
