The 22" Westinghouse that Steve K has the restoration thread on, was found by me out back of a TV repair shop in Chatsworth, CA in the mid-80s. One of my CT-100s was from an old printing shop; owner heard I liked old TVs, and he had this extra-heavy one to get rid of. I also found a CBS-Columbia 360 color set with the 19VP22, in a drainage ditch, but in mint condition! That was a close call, because I went home to get my truck, and when I got back, someone was loading it in a van! I had to buy it off him. He wanted the mahogany to make a dollhouse. I've found a variety of late 50s & newer roundies in alleys and at garage sales; a Raytheon C-21C1B, a few CTC-5s, etc. None in the past 10 years, however.
