Hey, that sounds like progress!
I would definitely encourage you to forge ahead and finish the TV. Gotta love that swiveling peekaboo screen.
I know what it's like to get bogged down in a big project. I've been tinkering with a Dumont RA-102 for months now -- far longer than it would take if I had worked on it regularly rather than sulking or looking for excuses (the holidays! the cold weather! a butterfly flapping its wings in Asia!). So, do what I say and not what I do: you'll feel great when you're all done
