Keep up the great work Bob, we need you younger guys to keep this hobby alive and growing. I have watched just about all of your videos and must say I have learned lots from them.

I popped open the CRT housing to do some work inside. Here's a side view showing how short the CRTs are.

After some tweaking, the first Tandem I restored is working fine Icon_smile

The second Tandem set still needs some work, but I'll get it sorted out eventually!

I'm done with one Tandem set and another should be done shortly. After wrapping up a couple other TVs, I'll finally get back to radios for a while Icon_smile

I am new to the forum and I recognized your name from your YouTube videos of which I have watched quite a few recently.  I have several Predictas and although I don't really work on them I enjoy having them fixed up to look nice.   I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for all the information and entertainment!

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy my videos. I haven't been had much time for radios and TVs lately, but will get back into it eventually...
