I guess my first radio "project" was a '37-'38 Airline table set. Found it at the "neighborhood" St. Vinnie's in 1963. Turned out it had a shorted electrolytic, burned-out 5U4 and, naturally, the power-xfmr was bad...
My first TV was a '53 Sylvania 21-incher (the one like yours, Bryan) from the Episcopal Ladies' Auxiliary thrift store (opened in '62 in the abandoned movie theater, still there today).
Someone asked me in 1982 if I owned anything new (my apartment was full of vintage stuff), so I answered "Yes, I like to buy new food". That shut him up.
