Yes, I also watch the Fukushima events unfold even today as they have returned with residents a few times over the year to show homes left untouched since the reactor explosions.... I even saw the technical presentation of the giant freezing unit they may place around the plant to prevent water leakage over the next several decades.... It will be quite an undertaking to return that area to a useful state.

And yes I get NHK English I assume its for the western market.

I also get airirang If I spelled it right, South Korea tv for the western market.... One time last year they covered a small Korean town upstate NY where they have a recreated Korean village with a highly rated restaurant I would like to make a trip to!!!

I enjoy all the international channels we get off and on from our local independent tv channel. I don't know where they get the money for it, but they have 5 sub channels all with really good off shore news stations.

And yes I did see several of their older sets still in operation daily, must be something to see in person !

When I was a kid, me and mom and dad would go into New York City and walk along Canal Street, one of the electronics importers big sales areas, where you can buy test equipment, meters, radios, you name it, just like some of the pictures you posted, those days are gone here though, most imports like those street shops do not include hobbyist electronics like years ago, and not of the quality like the past.

I did not see the sports cars yet, I have been to your pictures and still have to get back again.... I also years ago had a Blaupunkt car radio, the insides look similar to one on that repair blog.... All good stuff, Thanks again for sharing !

I can't get over the title of that blog, I wonder if it's an accurate translation.....?!?!

" Repair diary of stubborn father - TV repair "

PS - CCTV Is from China correct ? We use to get that one, But they quit it for AlJazeera English, then dumped it for empty channel when Aljazeera went to Cable, so no more OTA if there is a pay option.... Goofy American tv rules... I would like to have access to more international tv, but then I would have to make time to watch it...... could be bad.... bad for me....

Thanks again !

Have a great day !
