Doug- I know what you mean about the age thing. I started in this hobby about 1990, when I was about 15, my first set was an RCA CTC-12, people thought I was out of my mind for working on this stuff! I siezed the opportunity though, and went to all the repair shops in my area looking for old tv parts. I left with boxes and boxes of tubes, flybacks, schematics and yokes, you name it, in many cases not even paying one dime for them!
