Hey everyone, My name is Mike and I am a fan of old TVs. I have no brains when it comes to electronics s o I defer to the experts. I have only 2 TVs a portable porthole and a console porthole. I also have my first VCR I ever bought. It cost $1162.00! I bought it when they first came out. LOL It weighs in at about 40 pounds. Magnavox VHS.

I came upon some Riders TV Manuals that I want to preserve. Are they of any interest? I have 1 complete set of TV Manuals 1-27, I have a partial set only missing a few. I also have 2 sets of Perpetual Troubleshooters complete plus a few extras. I know these are available online, however I like the tactical experience of paper. If anyone is interested let me know and I will post them in classifieds. I live 2 hours from Chicago and 1 1/2 hours North of Indianapolis. Willing to meet or someone can pick them up here. Media rate isn't to bad for shipping USPS.

Welcome.

Physical riders are good because many of the scans out there are so low resolution as to be illegible.

My Riders radio and TV collections are down a few books yet. I live in the Milwaukee suburbs, but occasionally drive down to Chicago for radio swapmeets, I also need to drive to Cleveland for a TV some time in the next few weeks. Once I recount my TV manuals I may see if I can buy what I'm missing from you.

Tom,

Thanks for the welcome! I would be happy to meet you in South Bend which is on your way, or you can come here. up to you. Let me know what you need!

Mike
