I'll only speak for myself. I don't have any particular specialty as far as manufacturers. If it has tubes in it, I'm interested. I don't think there are any that only collect only Philco. I could be wrong.

Each manufacturer had their quirks. RCA had the very unreliable printed circuit boards and flybacks (color sets). Zeniths are built like a tank. My Andrea was a very easy restoration.

My links page has resources available for help. You can also opt to call me a meathead, then ask your questions.
