Should be fun to do from memory...
Main TVs:
47" Panasonic 1080i CRT rear-proj - living room daily watcher
19" Sony Trinitron in the living room for the kids (and me) to play NES/Genesis on
Sony KV-20EXR10 wall-mounted in the bedroom (parents bought it new in 1991)
13" Sony Trinitron mid-90s stereo TV in the kitchen
32" Sony Wega 4:3 1080i CRT in the basement
7" Digital Prism ATSC LCD portable

Working TVs in storage:
3 80s-vintage Sony Trinitron 19"ers
an early 80s Sony Trinitron 12"
Early 90s Sony Trinitron 13"
Citizen B&W pocket LCD (where you view the image through a mirror) with separate backlight module
Sony Watchman with AM/FM Stereo, original AC adaptor and case

Non-working TVs in storage:
Emerson radio/tape/TV boombox (radio and tape ok, TV dead)
Sony Mega Watchman mini-radio/tape/TV boombox (radio and tape ok, TV dead)
GE color TV boombox with detachable microcassette (missing top cover, needs some general TLC)
KTV 5" portable - rarely powers up, need to troubleshoot
2 VictorMaxx Stuntmaster virtual reality helmets with passive-matrix LCD monitors
Sony Vidimagic Indextron projector with Beta VCR - seems a little dim and the VCR needs new belts.

Stuff for projects:
Dukane VCP/monitor, VCP guts removed but Panasonic-made 7" color monitor is in good working shape
Mini B&W TV (3 or 4 inches) from Gerber video baby monitor, works fine
Color LCD monitor intended to be attached to a Playstation 2. I was thinking this might end up in the Emerson or another boombox.
One or two camcorder B&W CRT viewfinders
Sony KDL-32S2000 - looks like a Wiimote victim, waiting to see if a replacement LCD panel will pop up
70s vintage jeep kit for a Sony TV (isolation transformer and video buffer) - pulled out of a 70s Sony TV, plan on putting it into one of my 80s Sonys which has a weak tuner

Need to fix and give away or just ditch:
32" Sony Trinitron works great with the back off, no picture and constant flashing LED with the back on, probably a broken trace near the FBT
35" RCA, early-90s, needs power supply repair kit to be put in (I have the kit, just have never gotten around to it)
50" Sony plasma monitor - suspect Y sus and buffer boards
Philips Magnavox (really Funai) 9" TVCR, was working recently but just took a fall and not worth fixing if it broke. Even if it still works I don't need it anymore.
20" Coby with DVD player, lots of filter caps are bulging, did not even bother plugging it in after picking it up off the curb.
2 13" Samsungs (early 90s) - nothing wrong with them but do not need
13" Zenith (early 90s) - ditto

So that's about 33 TVs/monitors. I definitely used to have a lot more.

ETA: The ad link that came up for my Mega Watchman actually pictures the one I have - an FD-555! Mine does not have the original stickers like the linked one (which is for sale on amaz0n).
