1956, I do know that our local yard is now buying all electronic's except for CRT's cheap (Real cheap) and has one or two guys dedicated to breaking down the more profitable stuff and shipping a semi load to Indy to a big buyer?? I believe the two breaking down are getting paid percentage, but how that's broke down I don't know.
The non profitable stuff is just sent out with cords cut and their buyer buys it whole. (can't pay much)
