Sandy G, you must be talking vintage TVs, since you mentioned a CRT, lol!!! No, I won't be attempting anything that complicated for some time, since, beyond spraying contacts w. De-Oxit, I have no electronics background or experience. ;-) My first TV project will most likely be a Zenith b&w portable (made in Japan) from the 70s. Last time I turned it on, just prior to the US DTV conversion, picture was fine but no sound. I'm hoping it will just need caps. I'll need advice as to how best to hook up old sets to converter boxes, VHS, or DVD so I can actually watch something on them.

Before I get to that, I have some old radios that need my attention. I'll start with a piece 'o' junk one that I don't care about too much, that way I won't cry if I ruin it.
