Your expierience in $$ for DIY restoration? Newbie w/41-608
#5

Well my first recommendation is not to quit your day job. It's a great hobby, and for most of us, at best a self liquidating persuit, that is discount labor, and see if you can make a few bucks on a sale to pay for the next wreck you find at your door from the post office or UPS.

Somewhere there is a guru on top of a mountain, probably in Europe, who earns a 7 figure income by restoring ancient microphones, radios, maybe even obscure glass optics for even more obscure film cameras.

Great hobby, very doubtful career path. When that ***hole finallly goes silent, not gonna be much on AM. Or is he gone > Dunno.
