When I had the recycling company I tried to put aside space in the warehouse for the "collection" but now it's all back in my basement.
Henry Ford museum had no need for anything tv related (I called there late last year after going there for the tour), What I saw was a pitiful assortment of sets that had the chassis taken out and color monitors shoved in playing period shows.
I remember a black and white from the 50's an RCA roundie from the mid sixties and a Zenith corner cabinet console from the late 70'S
Knobs had been ripped off the rca by kids and I remember looking into the hole straight through the set, Gutless except a crt and small chassis!
I suggested a section with either an old b/w or early color with the back off and tv man mannequin and tube caddy nearby showing how home service was and what an old set ACTUALLY looked like inside.
I am sure they were laughing after they hung up the phone with me!
