I know what you mean about learning B&W TV alignment. It almost more art than science. Specific tube makes can matter and many passive components matter more than you think they should. A good sweep generator with markers helps a lot but I think practice helps more. I keep a Motorola 9VT1 running. Those early sets teach you a lot. Mainly patience and humility but eventually your skills improve.

On February 1 in Farmington, MI will be the annual Winter Vintage Electronics Expo of the Michigan Antique Radio Club. There will be a ton of radio deals and usually a fair number of vintage TVs that need attention. I’m not sure what part of Northern Indiana you live but if you have a few sets to sell, looking for test equipment or are interested in buying something to work on, it’s a good show. I’ll probably share a table with someone (saves a few bucks) let me know if you are interested.

I live near Bristol, Indiana which is about 7 miles from the Michigan border with Indiana, and I've heard of Farmington, MI, which I believe is a suburb of Detroit and I'm about a 3 1/2 hour trip out from Detroit, Michigan where I live. I would have to have someone give me a ride if I were to go to that show, because I'm not too keen on driving around Detroit by myself.

I do have a Westinghouse WR-10A AM Only Tombstone Radio that I would be interested in selling that I had fixed up.
