I enjoy stories like that. Sounds very similiar to a mom-and-pop repair shop near here. She works the counter-and is pretty good at terminology-and he works the repair bench. He works on radios as a hobby. He even has a Predicta upstairs! I hadn't talked to them in some time, but got a call from "mom" just yesterday. I had previously helped them find a part for an '80s RCA that a customer brought in (an AK member saved the day that time!) and now they have a CTC159 in the shop that needs some parts. I hope I can help them out again-they were generous with me, letting me take a couple truck loads of TV sets and several caddies full of NOS tubes (mostly all typical TV stuff) and I would like to find ways to repay them.

When I was on the phone yesterday they joked that if I find those parts I should next look for someone who wants to buy a TV shop! They've had the place for sale for a few years but no bites.
