I had tinkered on a lot of sets when I was a teenager but I have a hard time remembering one that I actually fixed. I recall a 12" bw Panasonic in a bright orange cabinet. The PC board was cracked all the way around. I probably spent the better part of a day bridging the gaps and did get it to work, though my poor soldering skills meant it didn't last. That was around the time of the first gulf war; I was hauling home a ton of junk sets right about then. The first set that I really brought back from the dead was a '50 Philco 12" which I recapped later in the 90s. (after I discovered the "miracle" of recapping, starting with a '39 Silvertone radio, I was transformed!)
