I was just thinking about this the other day. In my Walter Mitty daydreams I think about making a video series showing young people how to troubleshoot and repair TVs, hifis, etc. so that these things don't all become cat beds once the current generation is no longer here.
But then...does repair really even exist anymore? I bit, I guess...but every one of these old sets that people are still pulling out of estate sales, basements, attics, garages, thrift stores and landfills don't need a repair. If the intent is to be able to watch it, you're going to go directly to a full restoration: anything less will eventually see it burn up or stop working again. I guess there are some newer, XL-100 generation and BPC sets that may benefit from repairs, but I wonder if in the future anyone is going to be interested in those pressboard consoles.
