Then, for about a month each time, I would 'curb shop" with my van and put my finds n the trucks. IMAGINE--what I could find around 1970, in the NY area--a LOT of CTC-5,7, 9 and so on rca tv sets, maybe a few CT-100's and 21ct55's, etc, along with TONS of nice Hi-fi gear. I would load the semis to the gunwales and "bring it all home".

Then,I would take two other semis to 1948 or so..same area...THIS time--prewar sets and nice radios of ALL types. Once again, about a month and back home.
