Just watched the video and what can I say, WOW!!! I wonder if that very first set on the way in the first warehouse is a 1956 RCA CTC-5? Anyhow I sincerely hope a lot of the sets were saved by collectors/restorers.

If those warehouses were down here in Australia and I was going through it, I would go nuts, there would certainly be a different range of TV sets that's for sure in which all the 50s/60s ones would be B&W and of brands like Astor, AWA, Healing, HMV, Philips, PYE, Kriesler etc. and the colour ones would be from the 70s/80s which would be Thorn, Philips, Kriesler, PYE, Rank Arena etc... My mate John of http://cool386.tripod.com/ in the Blue Mountains has upward of 200 TVs from the 50s to the 80s on his premise in garage and back shed so I've been fortunate to get an opportunity to see a shitload of historic TVs!
