Guess I'm guilty of the same. My wanting to save a few old sets stems directly from my teenage years of junking (we called it "stripping") 1960's sets at my Dad's TV repair shop. Some of the best sets to strip were Zenith tube color sets. A good soldering gun and patience yielded a bin full of prime parts - resistors, caps (don't save the blue disc caps was a mantra!) and lots of cloth covered wire. Dad's shop was in an economically challenged area, and if he could fix a set with used parts (that he didn't charge for), the customers saved a bit and were happy.
I've come clean on this before, and every set Zenith that Doug restores eases my guilt some....
Cheers,
