My favorite Goodwill is Birmingham Alabama. They do not toss anything electronic away. My TV shop friend and I would go up there and bring a truck load back. He bought modern stuff for the televisions he was working on.

The 36" Sylvania set I have in the bedroom came from there. I bought it for $15 and all it needed was a transistor in the horizontal section and a few lytics. Got a good Tv for less than $20.

My friend was making some money buying and repairing Goodwill sets and selling them at the flea market on Saturday and Sunday. He would also pick up sets for repair.

I look for the Goodwill Clearance centers every city I travel to.
