You guys still have TV repair shops up there?  I haven't seen one of those 
in years.  Nowadays everybody just assumes a TV set is a throw-away item.  
When TV's quit using tubes, most of the repair shops shut down, or moved 
onto other things like computer repair.  Solid state TV's usually run 4-5 
years before showing signs of trouble, so people just replace them when they 
malfunction.

When I was a kid, I used to regularly pull discarded TV chassis from the 
junk pile behind a local TV shop.  Tube type TV's were a good source of 
parts, and a couple of HV power supplies wired in series would produce about 
750 volts at 300-400 milliamps, enough to run a 100 watt plate modulated 
transmitter.
