If someone were to offer up a rare TV for the show, can we be assured that a vintage electronics expert would be on hand to guide the project? With all due respect, and I am a fan of the show; I was a bit disappointed in the restoration of the Thunderbolt Air Raid Siren. I collect and restore air raid sirens as well as vintage TVs and radios, and although the physical restoration of the sheet metal was excellent, the siren was incomplete (missing the entire Roots blower, motor and housing, and the RCM cabinet and controls), and this was not explained in the show. I understand that the watching public might not be aware nor care of those details, but I would venture to guess that most owners of vintage TV sets would want to be assured that if you took on a project like a TV, that you would be sure to keep correctness and completeness as priorities.
