Thanks for all these notes of appreciation! Glad to share...
On this subject of signage, Does anyone have a photo of any TV repair shop signs that are noteworthy? Here in Los Angeles, most TV repair shops are gone. When I was a boy, there were 2 or 3 shops in every block (it seemed)... My favorite was the one which was founded by actor Victor Mature, "Vic Mature TV" on Pico Blvd just West of Westwood Blvd in LA. They had a really neat window display of vintage TVs that they had sold new, including a 3" Pilot, a Predicta, and others. The sign was HUGE, with plenty of neon tubing and featured "RCA VICTOR BIG COLOR TV available here". Also had a sign that said "Hoffman warranty center". That shop is gone, but was still there as late as the mid 80s. Then there was a shop on Westwood Blvd near UCLA that had a sign "WE NOW SERVICE COLOR TVs!"
