my 2c...
I have yet to make it to one of these famed clinics, although I've been trying to for years! I have a ton of old radios, mostly 20's that need repair. I am not interested in getting a njarc member to fix my radio (feed me a fish), I am interested in learning how to repair radios (learn to fish). 
My only comment about this is, would it be possible for some members who own camcorders to video tape a few of the repairs during each clinic? We can see some interesting sets, hear the comments from the owner, hear the diagnosis and perhaps even see some repair techniques. The club could compile these onto a DVD or even a set of DVDs for a) posterity, b) me I could learn a lot without attending every session) and c) could be a good source of revenue for the club. I'd pay $100 for a decent set of DVDs (perhaps a few years worth of radio repair clinics). The beauty is the club could resell the same stuff over and over and really leverage the effort that went into repairing the radio in the first place. 
Surely it wouldnt look all that highly polished but it sure could be useful.
