Odds are some still work if allowed to dry out a few weeks, but with that much exposure to the elements there's no way that every one of those work.

I've been stacking up walls of TVs for 10 years now. Then:

Now: (bonus points if you can spot and identify all 19 TV sets in the first pic)

I make my walls out of working sets... though getting enough extension cords to other breakers to power them all at once is tricky, especially in the basement.

Tom,
Does your RCA TM-21 work? Would you be interested in trading it for something?

I changed the caps and it works but the horizontal is unstable...I also need to install new relays for the color killer circuit (originals had open coils).

Honestly I bought this to keep it permanently and it's one of my favorite pieces. If I traded it I'd immediately be looking for another TM-21, but I don't expect I'd find another one for sale inside of a decade. Probably the only thing I'd trade it for is a 15GP22 equipped Zenith http://earlytelevision.org/zenith_15_inch.html or Admiral http://earlytelevision.org/admiral_c1617a.html or something pre-WWII.

Can the sets on the bottom handle all that weight? It can’t be good for the structure of the cabinet.

The packard bell has had heavier stuff on it than currently and was fine (no deformation, cracking, or wobble) the last time it was uncovered. I put fabrics and or felt between the wood and items on top to prevent scratches. Same with the Setchel Carlson. The monitors are made of very sturdy metal beams so I expect an elephant could step on them without damaging them.

Once I secure a new job (the office I work at is slated to close at the end of the year and my job ends with it) I'm going to be focusing on becoming a home owner and I'll improve my TV organization then. If I don't pack the basement dense there's not going to be any way to get to anything in the basement...
