Looking for Metro Detroit area restoration mentor

[Broker57]

My wife and I love vintage stuff, and I particularly hate to see things destroyed or sent to a landfill simply because they have fallen out of favor. So, as a rescuer of vintage electronics I have managed to accumulate WAY too many non-functioning audio and television projects. While I am not a complete and total dummy, I have not done any restoration more complex than a "dust out the insides and clean the pots" kind of thing. If it doesn't work after that then I am lost. To complicate matters I seem to like the German audio consoles a lot, so I have a couple of Grundigs and a Telefunken that are in need of attention, along with the Motorola and Philcos.

I work on vintage cars and travel trailers, and since I am more of a visual learner than a book type, I'm hoping that perhaps there is some local VK'er who can walk me through the steps of troubleshooting tube radios or even my Westinghouse B&W TV from start to finish.

I'm located in the Waterford/White Lake area. Thanks for looking.
