Heh.. back in the day, there seemed to be three fairly defined classes of TV guys. There were the tube jockeys who did the house calls and pulled the sets in when tubes or fuses wouldn't fix the problem. And there were the shop techies who dug in and did the actual troubleshooting and circuit diagnostics. Of course those two classes did tend to overlap somewhat. Then there were the 'dog shooters', the supergeeks who took on the real brain-buster repairs, who usually worked by piece work (as opposed to by the hour).
