Hello, everyone
Just a quick post to introduce myself.
I've become interested in vintage television sets, in part due to watching a few YouTube channels of hobbyists's projects (especially Doug/drh4683, but also others) and look forward to learning more and getting my first set to restore.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and have started watching Craigslist for restoration candidates, but need to start learning some basics about television servicing and restoration. While I'm not an electrical engineer nor do I have a lot of formal training, I've always had an aptitude for fixing things and I'm pretty confident I could learn the basics reasonably quickly. I remember my father (who WAS an engineer) telling me that televisions have high-voltage capacitors and so it's not a good idea to just go poking randomly around the innards of an old CRT-type television, so I need some sort of primer/intro text to begin with.
Any recommendations on a good, basic text on Television service and repair?
