Roadkill 2005!
Thought we should start a thread showing our roadside finds this year. Picked up this Catalina combo yesterday. Thought it was color when I first saw it. About killed myself getting back to pick it up. I will have to wait for it to dry out before attempting to power it up. This would have been awesome if it was color.

What was that perverosity of long ago which led to building behemoths like this? :-) Where is the yoke on the neck of the picture tube? Buh-zar!

I really do not know who buit it. I will look more tomorrow. It is SAMS 1064. I was shocked that it was not color. It is a cool set though. Because of the name I will keep the set. First Catalina set I viewed also.

In this part of Texas, no garbage is put out at the curb...it is all put in the city-owned dumpsters which are located in the alleyways behind all houses. In the country you have to contract your own trash hauler which furnishes you with a metal dumpster or you have to haul it to the dump yourself. No trash cans are ever used for trash pickup.
Consequently no large items are usually put out for the trash. Luckily we have a community recycling days yearly from which I officially collect the TV's, etc. I remember though when I lived in Ohio and you just set the trash out at the end of the driveway and hunting for TV's set out...sometimes it was a race against the trash man to get them!

How about if I enter this thread just to display a gratuitous photo of a console TV displayed in the back of an old Dodge truck?
 This is a somewhat-working color '68 Zenith that looks like new cosmetically.If only I could get somebody to do some trading with me

Okay, I'll bite: Who sold Catalina sets? It's a name I never heard of.
