fantastic!!

Guys,

I work for the state government here. The department I work for manages the protection of historic buildings and objects.

Phil, I showed your restoration of the CT-100 to one of our chief conservators.

She was extremely impressed (and that means she was reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllly impressed) at the depth of knowledge and attention to detail and the sheer beauty of the results.

And wished all of you here the best of luck with your conservation and restoration efforts.

All I can say is WOW!!!

That's very kind, but don't get too carried away. There are folks around who make my little projects look like amateur hour. They're just not as blabby as I am

Humility is a mark of a master craftsman. I would say Phil's mastery is in the high proficiency he's attained in the (relatively) short time he's been doing these restos, starting from a pure nooby. Now watch him start blushin'.

I doubt if they were given anywhere the amount of "TLC" you've bestowed on this 'un when they were originally made...

Ditto - I would have thought Phil had been restoring these for ages looking at his site.

the work you do...

folks,

I think you tend to forget that while we are all enthusiasts the work you guys are doing is actually significant.

The restoration and documentation of the technical aspects of television history is essential ...really essential.

In no time at all the CRT television has practically disappeared but the place television played in the latter half of the 20th century is immense culturally and in no small part due to the extraordinary advances in television technology.

So when my conservator lady said she was impressed she really did mean it ...and she meant it for all of you.
