Talking Time for a introduction..

Hello people! I've been here a while and felt now is the time for my introduction. It seems like a good community that I want to be involved in. My name is Brandon and I'm 26 years young. I have always had a thing for anything electronic but just a few years ago I really grew this appreciation for any vintage electronic. I have always been fascinated with CRT's and my appreciation keeps growing. Especially since they don't make them anymore. I would really like to get into old television sets and radio's but haven't been able to afford any yet. The first and oldest thing I've restored is my knight 600B tube tester thanks to the great tips of Bob Anderson. Hopefully I will some day really put this equipment to the test as I have only tested 3 tubes with it. I hope that you guys welcome me with open arms.

Welcome aboard!

I believe there's a few members in your area. I know that vts1134 lives in Pittsburgh, I've been to his house, and he's got some impressive stuff!

Glad to have you here. Pittsburgh's place in electrical history requires you to

get an old Westinghouse TV or a Radio with at least a dozen tubes to test.
