Hi All,
Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I live about 1 Hr. NW of Toronto, about 2-1/2 hour's drive to Buffalo, New York state where the closest supply of 40's vintage TV's is to be found. I have been building a collection since I started collecting about 5 years ago. I collect primarily only round screen receivers including early color and projection types . I do all my own electronic and finish restoration and am having a blast enjoying a steep learning curve in the case of early color sets, re-learning toob electronics that I studied at school in my youth when an RCA CTC-20 was a brand brand new color TV. The color bars in my avatar is an actual off screen photo from my restored CTC-20 (with titling added later). I owned and technically maintained high powered (50kV) CRT events projectors as well as Eidophor light valve projectors in the 80's through early 90's.
I encourage your input and welcome your discussions on all aspects of the hobby of vintage television collecting and the posting of pictures of your pride projects. Please tell your friends about this forum.
It looks like we're on the air!
Rob
