[NJARC] idea to get more members.

[Thomas Lee]

I am the original poster on this thread.  First off I would like to thank 
everyone for their help in the repair clinics.  And I understand that 
resources are limited, time etc.  That is why I proposed having some classes 
done for those that need them.  Perhaps they could run in tandem with the 
repair clinics.  As for the books, and tapes, I have brought a few.  And 
it's not the same as learning from an experienced hand.  What happens to the 
novice at home when he not hits a problem?  And learning as a group would 
instill a club atmosphere, and promote comraderaty.   I think, as others 
have also stated after i posted, that a few classes here and there would be 
great for the club, and a draw to it as well.  And having these classes will 
be time resource effective, since the problems of many can be addressed by 
one.

Thanks

first remember there is a shortage of skilled knowledge and look around how 
thin they have to spread themselves. Remember that they are taking time from 
their family to volunteer help to you. And when I spent several hours and 
walked away with a working radio, it was well worth it! Besides not only are 
you getting help but tubes and capacitors are readily available at a low 
cost. Not only does Technical help spend the day helping others, but they 
wind up coming early to set up and stay late to clean up. My advice to new 
members that want to learn about repairing radios is to invest in two great 
books that are available, Antique Radio Restoration Guide by DAVID JOHNSON 
and Old Time Radios restoration
and repair by JOSEPH J. CARR. By having these two books the novice will get 
a much better understanding and they are written so a layman can understand 
them.
