Great to have you, we all probably started on radios.
Then we had the dreaded 100% success rate and moved on to 50's BW televisions, a much bigger challenge.
I had two RCA CTC16 sets when in High School and like Bryan notes above, the RCA color tv service manual by Carl Babcoke was my best guide. I got bitten a few times on the 405 volt source in that chassis and it HURTS!

If you rebuilt a 289, you have the patience needed. I bet many of us here are motorheads as well.
