I think Radio and TV are both historically interesting in their own right. What I find boring(on both technologies) are the mundane tasks of the restoration, like changing thousands of capacitors, or refinishing dozens of cabinets. What I really enjoy is studying the schematic and trouble shooting. So my collecting is done more so out of a curiosity of the technology than it is about amassing a large number of operational sets. I also enjoy seeing sets that other collectors are working on, which means one less set I need to drag home for my up close personal inspection.
