1958 ADMIRAL TV Set - CRUSH IT OR PART IT? I need you guys to decide!

Oh and some more good news...

The faceplate has only very minor pitting and easily be re-plated or re-painted. The screen is good and most of the rubber/plastic parts survived. There is a piece of trim at the bottom of the faceplate that is rusty but salvageable.

The remains of the speaker grille showed what once was a beautiful fabric of white and gold. What a shame.

I remember seeing an old TV at my granddads house much like the pictures you have here. My granddad took it to the SIMS electronic scrap yard in Greenwood MS and if I remember correctly, he returned home a happy man having made a good deal with all that stuff! I guess it makes sense to take old/used metal appliances down to the junkyard instead of just trashing it, why not make a few bucks out of it?
