They're climbing telephone poles out here in the California desert, CUTTING AND STEALING the cables for copper!!!!!!!! Once in awhile a dead guy is seen at the base of a pole with both arms burned off. If they go to that extreme, it's no wonder they go to the dump and bust the yokes off old TVs. An article in the paper last year when we had the Ventura County fire, said the copper guys were right on the heels of the firemen to pick up all the wire that had been on burnt poles. It was a bonanza for them, because the insulation was already off thanks to the fire, so they could sell it for more bare!
If I had nothing but money and time, I'd put out an ad campaign to all metal recyclers, city dumps, and thrift stores... I wouldn't quote collector prices, but I would "guarantee to pay much much more than scrap value" for certain very old TVs.
