We're all clearly delusional if we believe we can pick up girls by saying we restore vintage TVs - watch their eyes glaze over, bored to tears, as you relate to replacing capacitors, checking tubes, etc.

Does she have a sister? BTW, I here in Pittsburgh too, I just dabble a little in TV's when I need to, but I like to read as well as look here to absorb the knowledge in case when I dive into things. I'm into amateur radio too.
