Ditto to everything Andy said. I started out collecting & restoring simple radios, then more complicated boatanchors and high-end sets, then black and white TVs, and now I'm working on my first color TV project. At every stage, there was something new to learn.
Early color TVs are also watchable. Many vintage b/w TVs have such a small screen that watching them is almost painful. The 21" screen on my "roundie" is big and bright. I was tinkering with it one evening when my wife (the TV junkie) walked in and said "Hey, that looks great. Wait, that's Boston Legal -- let me watch it!" She would never have sat for an hour on a hard wooden chair in my workshop watching that show on a little 7" b/w set.
