[vcf-midatlantic] Gowanas E-waste Warehouse shutting down

[William Sudbrink]

If someone goes to this, I'm looking for a GE Porta-Color (around 1975) 13 inch TV.
If you find one, I'll make it worth your while to grab it and hold it for me.

One of their people just posted on Facebook that all console TV’s are free, and there were some good ones, a 27” Sony, some Zenith System 3 sets, RCA XL-100’a and what appeared to be an RCA CTC-10 Color roundie from 1960.

Well worth looking into if you are near Brooklyn and can transport and have room for the sets.
