We should all be on the lookout for old sets & parts. They will not be here forever. The independent TV repair business is nearly extinct & a lot of rare stuff will go with it. I am not real outgoing myself so I have a hard time walking into a place and asking about old stuff they might have. But, you know, nobody yet has grabbed me by the ear and thrown me out the door. Most struck up a friendly conversation and were glad someone wanted their treasures. The worst treatment I've gotten was from a repairman who just wasn't ready to part with the stuff yet.
Somewhere out there, there are: NOS 21" color tubes; prewar TV sets; CT-100s and other 15GP22 sets; all manner of early bw & tube color sets. It is up to us to find them, not so much before some other collector does but before the landfill does!
