I have a friend that works at Goodwill in their thrift store. He told me that most of the TV's they get dont work at all. They plug them in and see if there is sound and something on the screen before they put it out in the store.

They have just started stacking a bunch of sets on a pallet and charging $35 for the load. I havent seen one of the pallet piles sold, yet. Its always late '80's thru the end of CRT sets that are there.

The other thrift in town routinely destroys sets that use tubes. I saw a destroyed Philco roundie there, once, and asked them to contact me if they ever got another. They've never called, and I mention it to them when I go there.
