I stumbled across this, apparently everything you need to rebuild CRTs... If only I had 11k to toss around what a great business to go into.

I think you'd have a hard time coming close to recovering your investment. Factor in the time & expense involved moving and setting up all that equipment in addition to the $11,500 price. Heck, Hawkeye is/was a running business and they gave everything away to keep it from ending up in a dump.

I think it's up to the individual whether or not to keep. I'm anti-packrat, so I won't keep anything that I can get one of later if needed, or that I won't need for the foreseeable future. That goes for everything from parts to clothes to furniture. If you live in a place with "unlimited" storage, you can keep everything... But some day you'll (God willing) be 99 years old, and be all worried about what's going to happen to all your precious stuff. Keeping a clean, neat and well-understood inventory of collectible TVs and parts is a good thing, as it is helpful to you in your hobby, and it won't be an emotional disaster for someone in the future to have to deal with, while thinking of your feelings if you were still there. Sorry to get deep, but I've seen what happens to collections under some circumstances.
