I work with a shop that specializes in older equipment...and we still do house calls and haul in the equipment or chassis to the shop if necessary. There is a lot of the 1960's and 70's audio stuff still in use...particularly the big old console stereos. Many times they haven't been used in a while because there was no one who would come out and work on them, replace needles, etc.
We have also worked on a fair number of jukeboxes.
There are not too many of the tube type TV's still in use out there...we did work on one about a month ago though, an Admiral, that also had a stereo and 8-track. Its last service call was in 1985 for a 6KV6 HV regulator tube. Another lady has a 27" Magnavox b/w, still working, but she mostly uses the record player part of it.
Our shop is not a full-time job for any of us there, we probably couldn't make an entire living just off of it, but we have been busy every week and really enjoy working on the old equipment and bringing it back to life.
