Hey NYC peeps -- do you know anyone who buys parts for old TVs? I've been getting some old TV consoles and just using the furniture parts. So I have old TV screens that might be useful to people who restore TVs but haven't found many companies in the NYC area. Any ideas?

In the beginning of the year, I hollowed out a TV from the 70s and made a cat bed out of it. My cats refused to use it. I finally caved and sold it, and the new owner sent me a pic of a cat who actually appreciates my craftiness.
