Hello Doug!, man, I wouldnt have room for 600 sets personally.Sounds like you have a very nice "select" massive collection indeed! At this point, we only have close to 200 radios here, mostly smaller vintage bakelights,wood tabletops, metal midgets,and some lost in the storage-, etc from the mid 20s- early 50s sets. Several consoles also. Weve sold a bunch over the yrs, not much profit to speak of, but it keeps us restocked on parts, etc to keep the hobby going for our customers.
I took a couple weeks off, away from my workbench, now Im fired up again! Ive never had a hobby before that I truly enjoy as much as this, cept chasin women when I was single & much younger, and better lookin in my younger days! (hee hee) All my good tech friends here sure help alot as I always learn something new! Every set restoration has a different challenge, even tho the basic designs were similar. Ive learned more about this hobby from the "previously-hacked" sets, than the simple fixes, but then again, I still get-stumped on these old radios sometimes from burn-out. Sometimes during "burnout" ( for me personally), the best thing to do is walk-away from it for awhile.
