I guess he takes after his mom, with hair and all....
I started out the same way with my Dad, 'cept I was the "Parts Sorter" - I knew my resistor color code before I even heard of a multiplication table.
Cars took me a lot longer to learn - had to blow an engine before I really got into them..
Back to the thread - there is a 1966 Conar Catalog online, but has only a B/W set. National Technical School was another school that had a kit TV, but they are sparse with details in the ads in magazines. CIE and CREI didn't offer any TV courses, and Bell and Howell offered up a tube B/W set, and later, a Heathkit solid state 23 or 25" set. Can't find any Arkay kit info.
FYI, most 1960's electronics magazines are on the web, and the entire Popular Mechanics/Popular Science library is on Google Books in "full" view.
www.americanradiohistory.com has most of the 60s Electronics Magazines online, save for PF Reporter and Electronic Servicing. Those "Radio Electronics" magazines have Jack Darr's TV repair columns, and lots of ads for schools, kits, parts and more!
