A lot of "TV radio repair shop" type equipment that is perfectly usable, but by no means modern lab-spec calibrated type equipment or even 60's era lab type equipment, has been readily available for the past 10, 15, 20 years. 20 years ago it was available because the shop was upgrading but in the past decade or so it's available because the shop went out of business. I think that as the very last TV repair places close down that this stream will dry up.
