Massive Lot of Vintage Tube Television TV Sets And My Trip To Get Some

[cali4tune]

Whats the deal neal? Are these TV's available somehow? I'm very interested to know

[Inflec]

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.

You need to rescue all of them now!!!!!!!

[TundraWalk3r]

There WOULD have been a Hornet's Nest in there...And I WOULD have "Found" it...

[fh424]

make sure these get saved for the most part !! firstly.they are superbly engineered, high quality products for ntsc color and standard monochrome..The Likes Of Which Will Never Be Seen Again.

also, keep old crt's outta landfills as much as possible.

[TwinMillMC]

Who what and where??? Is this warehouse completely abandoned? Are you going to get to have most of that stuff? I could use one of those portable chrome TV stands for my 1960 Admiral. Could you possibly sell one to me? That place is like a dream come true!

[DaAnalogDogg86]

That place is soo freaken awesome! I dig that turquise set at 6:01.

[tube1aka1valve]

Halo Light ! I have a 1964 HiFI / B&W combo with that feature. What a find you got there, hope it goes to good homes

[tetrodobeam]

TERRIFIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[0ldman0tis]

was it the alternator?

[julianblonde]

Interesting video! I liked it but did you save any of the old TV's?

[Moletastic69]

Blair Witch Project + Hoarders. An exciting find, but also overwhelming I bet.

[GeoN0JRJ]

I'd love to have some of the old radios if you grabbed any!  That is what I like to restore

[GeoN0JRJ]

I've always heard the term "Mother Load" but this is the first time I have actually seen one in person! Kewl

[PigsInBlanket]

I have no problem taking perfectly good working old sets, but they have to work because I'm limited on my expertise.

[Shandybrother]

lol, that will keep you busy for a while Chad

[Spoif]

I've been watching too many horror movies... I was expecting a zombie to jump out any moment.

[glenz1975]

Holy Crap! That is one huge stash of TVs!! I wonder how many years they have been stored there for? I couldn't believe what I was seeing while watching this. Hope you got some good sets out of there. Great video!

[james42519]

family had a fan like that and the extended one too. they had some trouble and stuff. i liked the radio and ac controls in the back though. wish could listen to 2 different things at the same time too. i hit one of these vans trying to roller blade. i dented the hood in the middle >.> that is a lot of tv's too.

[RODALCO2007]

That is an absolute amazing stash of old TV sets.

Great video. Hope the van ran well after the repairs made.

Snow in Oklahoma ? !

[TheMr6507]

Nice video! I've never seen so many TV's in one place!

[retrochad]

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.

[Mrphatbastard1]

@retrochad Chad, I couldn't help but think of you when watching this video, I'm surprised your not on your way with a U haul to save them lol. If you are, save the console stereo's for me will ya!

[retrochad]

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.

[whrm3]

@retrochad My mother had a first gen Aerostar, but it died. So we got a second gen one in 1994, we had that till about 2006ish. No rust or major mechanical problems.

[NJRoadfan]

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.

[redneckbryon]

In that first place, do you know if any of them still work?

[audubon5425]

4:15: dealer display for the Sylvania set with the slide projector

[HardKnocks60]

If old TV collectors knew the exact location of those warehouses, they'd probably be drooling over everything there. I'll bet you've scored some pretty cool stuff!!

Glad to see that you were able to replace the U-joints in your van's drive line. It would have been a high-power bummer to have to do that in the snow.

[jpdylon]

wow, what a goldmine! I think I couldn't help but try to rescue everything!

[THEtechknight]

did the guy pass away or something?

[Alex1M6]

Its like a grave yard for old TV's!

[audubon5425]

You would get caught in the FIRST snowfall this season :) 

[audubon5425]

7:31 - I have that Hotpoint set - need a new bezel for it - what a trip, never expected to see another one

[iluvdx60]

Man you are "LUCKY","LUCKY"LUCKEEEE"! Unreal. Hope you have some hot projects on restoration and to put them on the YOUTUBE later to share. FB !
