Cleaning out a TV repair shop basement

It took me most of Sunday to unload, return the rental, wash all the CRTs with sponge + soapy bleach water, test the roundy tubes, wash the out sides of the sets, clean the shed and put it all in there, FINALLY shower, and treat the folks to Olive Garden for dinner as thanks.

So what do you think of my haul? Think I should go back there, or am I nucking futz?

I think Tilex mold and mildew killer ought to take care of the wood sets. I use it in the bathroom all the time and once on a radio's speaker grille cloth. Cleaned it up nicely.

Damn that's a nice haul. Of course you would be nuts for getting more, but revel in that, I would do it if I could. Store some of this stuff outside if you need to, just cover it up and maybe build a shed to hold the overflow.
