I dont know about ebay but someone is grabbing every gun/yoke you can find when TV's get set off at the dump. I NEVER saw this until all the factories closed down and all the work went away. Now a dumpsite is like a trading post of sorts. Rarely can you drop off something without seeing at least one guy loading his truck. I think some make a living off of scrap metal which is why all the crts are now broken. I think what they want is the copper from the yoke so I believe they just snap the whole gun and everything off. Can't see any other reason why someone would want EVERY one of them. I saw 4 sets of various age tonight. All snapped necks....
Darn, wouldnt we all feel stupid if there was gold or silver in the electron guns?
