Starting in TVs?

You just have to be persistent in looking. CL 5 times a day, be willing to drive and be ready to drop everything and move. The attitude that your going to be first in line helps.

I would start with a tube black and white. They can be easier to find and can be shipped if you get one through ebay. Once you have a fairly good understanding go for color or if a color one comes along put it on the side

What you got is a good start. You can pick more up as you go along, the stuff is fairly abundant and cheap. You can check cathode current with a dmm, good capacitor tester and hv probe for color sets really helps.
