...when Captain Moody told us all about the two old sets placed in the trash with a note "More TVs inside". So, unless otherwise challenged, I am declaring St. Clair Shores, Michigan to be the "Crazy-old-man-hording-old-TVs" capital of the world! Just another reason I love my city!

I went over to the house after Capt' Moody, and brought home the following: (In one truckload I might add!)



Here's an old RCA, in very good shape (The sets in the attic faired much better than the basement, which was simply a fire wating to happen!)



A Monkey Wards set... There were a high percentage of store-brand sets. I grabbed them just because you rarely see them. This one was supposed to have legs.



Here's a 21" Maggie... I know you aren't supposed to hard-start 'em, but I figured most would end-up back in the trash unless they worked. The ones that looked reasonably safe, I plugged in with mixed results. This one mostly hummed, with no HV.



Close-up of the controls... Note the "Power Tuning" button!? It's not remote, so was it really that damn hard to turn a knob?



Here's a Moto for ya...
