I am your local MadMan
 
Hi there!

Let's see. I'm 28, male, Chicago. I'm a mechanic by trade, but I often like to take on difficult side projects that I'll probably never finish! I'd like to say that I'm pretty good with electronics. I can follow a schematic, I can solder, and I know a bit about how stuff works. From time to time I'll fix something electronic-y. Usually it's car-related circuit boards and the like, but I've tinkered with other things, like my 1992 Sony Trinitron tv. Which I fixed a million times.

I also like antiques and vintage electronics. I started my modest radio collection when I was but a wee lad.

I recently picked up an RCA Victor 7T122 tv set (1951). It's had a very rough life (lately), and I wanted to make it new again. So I came here. Sadly, in the LONG time that it took the mods to validate my account, I've found out that the picture tube is dead. Apparently it's quite a rare one. 17GP4, one of those metal/glass tubes. But I'll keep looking.

So, just wanted to say hi!

Another noob here, also working on my first old set. Not as rare as yours though. Good luck finding a picture tube! I have been having a lot of fun working on mine and it is getting close to done.
