Exactly four years ago this video is what made me love antique television sets. I was 14 at the time and in the 8th grade.

Absolutely incredible find, fortunately the scrappers didn't do much damage. It's so stupid, how some people will destroy an item worth hundreds of $ just for a few cents worth of copper. Here in NB (Canada) it's almost impossible to find a CRT set in the trash that hasn't had the back smashed in for someone to grab the deflection yoke. And good luck finding any discarded appliance of any kind with the power cord still intact....

This video takes me back to my childhood. Back in the 70s our town had a place called "The Old Curiosity Shop." Owned by a friendly old hermit. One room was full of old radios & TVs. I was a kid back then and had no money to buy anything, but I did take pictures of the place. I recently found some of those pictures I took while cleaning out my folks estate. To my amazement there was an RCA CT-100 in one of the pics! Looked brand new. The place was torn-down in the 90s. I hope someone realized the value...

Makes my collection of 50-75 tube TV's look like nothing. I have one color roundie - a Sylvania almost identical to the one at 8:59. Glad to see you were able to save these from the landfill, at least someone cares about preserving television history. Man, what a find!

Wow, that's an amazing amount of TV's! I have found one place like that which was a repair shop, maybe not quite as big and was able to get about 25 sets from it. I actually have a barn which looks almost identical to this place you were at but with maybe 1/4 of the stuff, I am working to get it all hauled to the building downtown.

In Denmark we had dear guests coming from like places of Molvania, and ripping hundreds of yards of signal cabling right out of the railway network at night, selling it to the scrapper the next morning. After the railways paid the scrappers a better bounty than they could earn on the cables, the thieves were soon all located, detained and expelled (only to return 2 weeks later). Meanwhile, the railways went through an expensive operation to replace copper signal cable with iron clad copper, having no scrap value. You have to be real poor to bother with the 50 grams of copper in TV wiring...

Amazing video. This is archeology of 20 century consumer goods. All those roundies!! I wish a container of those tvs appeared in the UK. Just wondering if any digital 'freeview' tuners output NTSC instead of PAL... I really hope most of those TVs went to collectors and other good homes and didn't go to a waste recycler. I would love to get a 1960's colour 'roundie' from the US.

That looks like one of the first-generation Aerostars, I can tell because of the Ford logo in the center of the grille rather than the top. I have not seen one of these in ages. I had a U-joint fall out completely on my Grand Marquis and the driveshaft hit the ground and was bent. Luckily I was one mile from the repair shop and had it towed and had the shop rebuild the driveline. I was feeling vibration but did not heed the warning soon enough that time and learned my lesson.

How do people let this sort of thing happen, thats ALOT of stuff to collect over the years! The two roundies at the front of the 1st warehouse look like RCA CTC-12s. Looks to be located the northeast or upper midwest. Be thankful that you have a Cali car, years of salt would have made that u-joint job a royal PITA. Thats likely the first snow and salt that van has seen.

Not necessarily. There are many people who collect televisions, and may want a cool 50's set for their collection (me for example. The oldest I have is 1970s). There are also old timers who want an old set as a reminder of days, or people who want one because it would look 'funky' in their living room or bedroom. The parts (especially the picture tube) can also be valuable to collectors, restorers and museums. If you ever have a 50's set you want to throw out, contact me! :-)

Wow! Were these places part of someone's estate, or just abandoned? Sure brings back memories of days long ago. And how little of our habits have changed with all the TVs I see being tossed becuz of the digital switch. :( Think you needed one of those big rigs for this expedition. Looks like you could have been up in my neck of the woods (Buffalo) with the snowstorm you were in. And yes, the other posters are right about your van--our road salt sent anything like it to the crushers long ago.

Was linked to this video from Videokarma site, WOW what a massive stash of vintage sets!!! Do you have any figures on what sets were saved by collectors who've visited the site? I sincerely hope at least the more rarer n valueable colour n B&W sets were saved. That set at 0:56-1:15 is it a 1956 RCA CTC-5 n did that set get saved? If these warehouses were in Australia I can imagine the 50s/60s sets would be all B&W sets of brands like Astor, Kriesler, AWA, HMV, Philips, PYE etc...
