My 11 year old son's Admiral 30A1 restoration project

[Electronic M]

I started recapping tube radios a year of two younger than that, and my folks somehow managed to keep me from discovering TVs for several years thereafter. It is a good age to learn things like this, and he is lucky to have you to help him with TVs. I had to teach myself to fix TVs over the course of ~three years with as many sets to putter around with, and almost no source of advice.
