[TV MAN]

Saddly, a lot of the techs knowledgable on these older sets are passing away, having health issues and simply aging. The youth doesn't have interest in this. Same with small engines. Those little shops that used to be every few blocks are long gone and a lot of the equipment went in the dumpster and the knowledge went to the grave. I've tried many times to get my son interested but he simply doesn't want to learn.  I went through a rebuild on his truck engine with him helping (not really by choice), and months later, he couldn't even remember how to check the oil! It's a different generation and I figure when I pass, also most of my things will also go to an auction or dumpster, my knowledge to the grave.
