Hobby or Job?

[Charlie]

Today I was talking with a friend that was asking about the business aspects of restoring vintage televisions and radios. He was wondering how well one would do trying to make a living at this.

I mentioned that most of us here on AK do this as a hobby, but that some of the guys here do restos and repairs for others. For instance, I occasionally repair vintage radios for others. Usually, I only charge the person for the parts since it normally takes very little effort to get a radio chassis up and running.

How many guys here do work on sets for others on a regular basis? Is this just a side job? Do we have anyone that does this as a full time job?
