> Hay I still have a nibbler (hand and air powered) and an assortment of
chassis punches. I have put up hundreds of TV antennas and I think I can
still do a fairly good convergence job on a color CRT. I even have a color
bar generator around here somewhere. I would much rather work on and build
radios than have anything to do with the insides of a TV.

spend hours in the surplus department at Crabtrees Electronics. It was full
of WW2 radio stuff and other junk. I would spend most of my allowance there
until they went out of business or I discovered girls I don't remember
which.
