New member from San Antonio, says hello

Hello from San Antonio!
I'm a transplanted Detroit-er that tolerates the San Antonio heat for work's sake. Nice place to visit...but...
I've been into Radios and Radio Control since birth. I built balsa and tissue through the plus 80" wing span planes with hacked and salvaged DC motors up to 25cc string trimmer engines.
I started down the FPV or "First Person View" rabbit hole. That's where you have a Gopro camera on the front of the model plane, sending live 600 line color television telemetry back to my flat screen suitcase monitor on an either 5.8 ghz for up to 3 miles away, or my long range uhf 433mhz system for 20 miles... in theory...I'm not that brave.
So radio and TV are my thing...
I recently paid WAY too much for a RCA Victor 14" portable TV. It is model 14-S-7052. It's black and gold and looks like it was styled by the designers of the 1957 Chevy. It is a low hour survivor with ALL the original tubes. It's nearly new old stock. I hope to get started with the re-cap and restore soon. Glad to have a place like this for the fellowship. Cheers and best of luck.
