Hello, Tim, and welcome!

The Phorum is a great place to both learn and to meet some other collectors! In fact, in my opinion, one of the best things here are the people!!

In fact, since Mike was released from his three-week stay at the asylum, oops, I mean, his "vacation," things are even better! Icon_wink

Tim,

Welcome to the Phorum. I am also a recent member having discovered the phorum maybe 6 weeks or so ago.

I've found it a wealth of info with lots of very helpful folks who like to talk "old radio", especially "Philco old radio".

Welcome Tim! I am new to the forum as well and have found everyone to be very helpful. I have been collecting and restoring radios for about 30 years so anything I can help with just let me know.

Hi Tim and welcome! I've been with this forum a little over a year now. I came in knowing only enough about electronics to be dangerous. These folks are more than willing to help every step of the way. Kept me from electrocuting myself at least a few times! Even if you aren't working on a radio you can always chime in at Old Ron's Bar and Grill. Always something going on, and you will learn something along the way. It's all good!!! Take care, Gary

Welcome to the Phorum, Tim!

Make yourself comfortable a sit a spell.
It's not how bad you mess up, it's how well you can recover.

Welcome to Phorum, Tim. Plus 1 on what GarySP wrote. I have been on the Phorum about a year. I have received much help when I needed it and have learned a lot just by reading fellow members posts. The knowledge here is amazing.
