I get that there seems to be less & less who are capable & knowledgeable to play with the vintage TV's. The gent who I have been working with for years is hanging up his schematics & just told me he wished he had someone to teach his craft to. I have a batch of vintage cars & taught my youngest how to pull, rebuild & install a drivetrain for one of them. He is now ALL IN on our vintage car collection. Not sure I can convince him of the vintage electronic game though.

Well...If anyone knows of someone to refer me to; that would be much appreciated.
