Hi to all, my name is Sean, and I just wanted to say hello to everyone even though I jumped the gun and already posted elsewhere...

Anyway, I'm too young to know the "glory days" of television service and repair (I was BORN in 1984). But for what it's worth, I am a big advocate of keeping this stuff very much ALIVE. If you know me, you know I'm a throwback....

My obsessions began very young with my grandparents' Western Electric 500 rotary phone. So I've collected and played with telephones for the last 20 years. Then it was phonographs and tape machines and stereos and such. I found this forum while Google-ing aimlessly looking at antique and vintage electronics and instantly fell in love with the early RCA color roundies. Such beautiful sets.... so here I am, ready to explore and learn about the television. And btw this was the post I started prior to this...

So thanks to all, and I look forward to conversing with you!
