Here is my Radio and TV repair shop area.
I have a lot of equipment and parts but not much space.
Seems every flat area ends up with something on top of it.
I took a bunch of stuff to a swap meet last week and it looks like
I need to go to the next one.

I had the Chassis out of my Philco 48-2500 TV on my workbench and
it was tight working on it. What I think we all can't get enough of
is uncluttered table top space. I'm thinking of making my main workbench
wider by removing all the equipment on attaching a 36" wide solid core
door I have. Then doing something different with the picnic bench I'm
using. Any suggestions?

While it's convenient to have all your test equipment and parts right there on the bench, chances are you won't use most of it enough to have it that close to the work area when space is at a premium. I hang my small parts cabinets on the wall, and most of my test equipment other than my DMM, soldering iron, and variac are on shelves on the other side of the room.

I then have an old dining room table and some folding chairs with a gooseneck fluorescent light, which gives me plenty of room to maneuver the big chassis sets.....and the dollhouse my wife's working on

Things are a bit messier in the basement than usual.....I've been logging some pretty serious hours on the soldering iron lately.

Nice Sylvania Halolight.
I know someone who has one - if only I can get him to sell it to me:-)
Wifey won't be happy with another TV in the house.

That one's not mine, it's a repair job for a guy in the DC metro area. All done and working well, just have to replace the selenium rectifiers.

Speaking of which, the parts just came in the mail yesterday......
