Surprisingly to me there was very little there older than the '90's as far as parts or TV's. The shop is small so I can imagine tons of valuable stuff was tossed over the years. He recently tossed a bunch of stuff. I did not press for details even though I wondered about my just missing the boat again. I was a little disappointed by the neighborhood. However, the building is secure and I believe the neighborhood will get better and better(remember "RCA is making television better and better."?). It is located near Singer Island which is a special place and he services that area. There is a new huge condo complex very close. Bob has a bum knee and needs time away or I think he'd stay longer.

I found the pictures of his TV shop very interesting, and I noticed that the TV's he got there for repair are decently stored. Here in Brazil TV repair shops are usually very chaotic places, where the owners put dozens and dozens of TV sets on top of each other, forming true "TV walls" . Do american owners of TV shops do the same, or the way he stores the TV's in his shop is the normal way in the US?
