Hi Oldtvman,
I was born and raised here in Waynesboro, VA. I havent lived more than a 15 mile radius since being on my own. Its a small town that still has alot of those small town qualities that you dont see anymore and rests literally at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Patsy Cline was born 30 miles north of here in Elkton and the Statler Brothers and President Woodrow Wilson are from the next town over in Staunton, VA. The University of Virginia is located 30 miles east of here in Charlottesville and was designed by President Thomas Jefferson who lived nearby at Monticello. Theres alot of history around here both interesting and mondain but a very nice place to live.
I've been tinkering with tvs, radios and record players since i was a pup and credit that for keeping me out of trouble while everybody else was out cow tipping and frog giggin'
I lost interest in them for awhile when i discovered i liked cars too and could work on them (is actually my trade today) and only got back into old electronics when parts became available again on the internet and forums like this were created. I wouldnt trade any of it for the world.
I also wanted to welcome you to the forum! These are some of the greatest guys and gals around and hope you enjoy your stay!
