So ive played with old radios before, but the extent of my experience is testing the tubes, replacing the wiring and recapping. Yes, I apparently did them correctly, as they played after.

I picked up a 57 zenith royal and a '50 motorola desktop sets on the cheap. The zenith worked fine, had a strong picture and sound for a few hours and then.. Well now im only getting the ocassional glimpse of a picture in the bottom right among a lot of static and no sound.

Tv's still baffle me and I need a good book explaining just how they work (for the 1950s era girls). Something for the beginner with a good trouble shooting section. While i assume that this will be fairly close to restoring an old radio, many of the same procedures, most of its all new to me. So any help would be appreciated.

Oh and I did find the sams photofact sheet for the motorola, havent found one for the zenith as of yet.
