[ARC5] Dan Nelson: TV-2 restoration. - NOT

[w5sum at comcast.net]

I just became the proud father of a TV-2. Someone painted it black, but the 
inside is really pretty. ALL of the meters function, none of them stick, 
which is a common problem.

I have NOT opened it up yet but I will be doing that in the future and 
replace caps and resistors.

Not a bad purchase for $75

I can answer that question: I called him about servicing my TV-2/U and 
TV-2B/U. He told me
flatly that he will not service TV-2s of any flavor since he has no 
replacement parts for them.

He also mentioned the fact that so many of the meters in the TV-2 are bad 
(none of mine
are bad, thank heavens) and that there are a large quantity of resistors on 
a big board in
there, 80% or greater of which are ALWAYS bad.
