Who lives near Longview, Washington and likes old TVs?

I'd want to study those sets carefully before getting too involved with them; there is glaring evidence of past moisture, which means a good chance of extensive corrosion and reliability issues.

This looks like the lot I had here--well over 150 sets, and all moisture-damaged. I pulled them out of a long-retired TV tech's cellar in a deal made with him for several Tek scopes and other interesting gear he had--I clean out his cellar--I get his test equipment.

The scopes were all damaged beyond repair, as they were submerged a few times in floods that took place there. The old guy was unaware, as he had been unable for years to go down and do anything there in his basement workshop. But the high-water mark was obvious, and well up most of the equipment stored there.

He was convinced he had a gold mine of stuff there. but the only piece of test gear that was salvageable was a B&K "flying spot" video generator, and I had to pay later to get rid of the best part of that lot of TVs--to say nothing of the labor involving me and a bunch of friends in moving the damned things.

As remarked the CRTs in the posted pics may be of value, especially the unmounted ones.
