Slightly off topic, but I have to say that I'm pleased that more younger people are interested in old TVs. Without new hobbyists, this whole vintage TV thing could disappear.

I always thought I was the only kid who was the least bit interested in old TVs & stuff, as I'd show up at the SCARS (Southern CA Antique Radio Society) swap meet in the early 80s at age 14, and everybody else was 65 it seemed (no, Colortel and SteveD, not referring to you).

Welcome to this board, and the hobby!
