You can post an ad in the classifieds which will definately get you calls-and LOTS of wild goose chases! But some of it will pan out. Trash pick up doesn't work where I live since we mostly have small towns that either don't pick up at all or only pick up canned garbage. My town will take stuff like this but you have to go to the town office, pay $10, haul it to the curb with a special tag on it...easier for most people to take it to the county collection site, which is free but only open once or twice a week. I have found a few good sets there, but not recently. Some of these sets would be giveaways at auctions. Often they won't even let you unload them off the truck at the local auction barn. At an on-site auction they might not even bother trying to sell the sets, you may have to ask. Most of my sets in recent years have come from a lady who "bottom feeds" at a couple weekly auctions. She buys whatever goes cheap, then puts in in antique malls or her own junk shop. She knows I'll be around and will buy stuff from her so she picks up the bargain radios/tv's. Really, just keep your eyes open & keep looking. I have found bargains on equipment (and I havn' t spent over $125 for any radio or tv, new or used, ever!) in antique malls, yard sales, flea markets, classifieds, used furniture stores...this stuff doesn't show up like it used to but it is still out there. As I think was mentioned, since there is no longer any demand for such sets (even sets from the 80s or 90s) most folks that used to sell them no longer bother.
