Well, I have a number of friends who are diehard collectors, I just have
about 50 project radios and two B/W TVs, so I can tell you that there
is some activity, but have no way to compare it with other areas.
The Quebec Hamfest held in Sorel-Tracy each May is a fine place to
find stuff, even though some people have been predicting its demise
for years now...
I live in the Villeray borough, to answer your question. And in relation
to your own story, my avatar shows me circa 1961 in front of my parent's
Electrohome Tampico TV, which we were fortunate to keep to this day.
It still has the factory CRT, and I do have a good spare, so I trust this
TV will be with me for the rest of my life. Regards.
