Could you please offer some advice as I am at a loss for how to proceed since I really don't know much about old sets.

My parents assembled a Heathkit colored console TV. I think it was in the late 60's or maybe very early 70's. It is still in their basement, but has not worked for years.

Based on what I've been reading, there may be a market for either the whole TV or parts? If the tv can be repaired, recycled or used for parts we'd like to see that done rather than having it hauled away to the landfill.

I'd sure appreciate any ideas or thoughts on this TV. I found an image online that is the same model as theirs as I forgot to take a photo when I was at their house a few days ago. Thank you!

Where in northern Ohio are you located? I'm in Lake County, 30+ miles from Cleveland.

We're in Medina County which I believe is about 45-50 minutes from your area.

Thanks much for the reply, and welcome to VK. I was just curious as to your location since I don't see many posts here from northern Ohio; that is, VK has members in this area, but not too many, or at least not many who post to the forums often.

Medina County is perhaps an hour from where I live in Lake County. You are closer to Akron than to Cleveland.
