Salvation Army &Good Will: Lack of any tvs,vcrs or stereo components

[bgadow]

I have hit the thrift stores only rarely, since none are real convenient. The only decent find I ever got from the Salvation Army was at the store JC mentioned, and that was probably close to 15 years ago. (a 21" rectangular Motorola color table set for $5) The last time I was in they had put all the small stuff in a junk room which seemed promising at first but turned out to be just lots of, well, junk. Old toaster ovens, 12" bw sets, telephones missing the receivers, single speakers, etc. The nicest things in there were tired 19" color sets from the early 80s. I have got to think that some decent older stuff gets donated. The backroom piles are huge!

There is a small, independent shop in the next town (Seaford,DE) where they had a big Philco combo from probably '53 or so. They wanted a lot for it, though.
