I also remember a set like this that was sitting in my high school electronics classroom around '94. The back was long gone but the rest was there. The HO tube was glowing red. My teacher kept telling me to take it because he was going to have the custodian put it in the dumpster. I kept putting it off; and, guess what: It wound up in the dumpster. Lesson learned: if someone offers you somehting; don't keep putting them off! There was also a late '60's RCA color console there with a blown off CRT neck. I did rescue the chassis in that one before it got tossed. But, I did bring home several TV's from that class over my two year period in there. I remember one RCA my teacher said I could have; but, I made the mistake of fixing it in class. He wouldn't let me have it after I fixed it. Anything else I got from there quietly got lugged home and fixed.
