Well this pretty much is the wildest thing I've ever done in my entire life regarding my hobby revolving around CRT televisions! I along with a good number of other tube enthusiasts located here in the Northeast USA were privileged enough to explore an old warehouse located up in Massachusetts that contained the remnants of a long defunct electronics recycler, and abandoned in the building can be found quite literally THOUSANDS of CRTs.
Like seriously, that is not me being hyperbolic. I have never seen so many tubes in one single place in my entire life. "Gobsmacked" is probably the most appropriate word for what anyone in this hobby felt when they first walked in those doors and laid eyes upon this treasure trove that lurked within.
The current property owners now want the building cleared, so in order to save as many of these tubes as possible they graciously hosted a firesale for the community, allowing the public access to the facility and selling off as many of the still usable televisions that they can. The two public sales to take place so far here in 2026 have both been such incredible occasions; unbelievable finds were discovered, friendships were made, and many hundreds of still perfectly functional CRTs were saved from being doomed to the landfill.
Come along with me on this fantastic voyage up to Massachusetts to check out a cornucopia of CRTs!

And seriously, if you're considering attending any of the future events held by the warehouse, I HIGHLY recommend going if you can! Even though this first batch has been somewhat picked through by now after these first two sales, there still are many more pallets filled with hundreds of CRTs located in a second building that haven't been seen at all by the public yet! The team is hoping to have as much of this new stock of tubes moved over to the main building in time for the next sale coming up within a month or so from now. I'll be sure to share news about the next sale with you all once that information is announced.
