I think his largest cost was the British output tubes, hard to get in the old days and he offered a local substitute as an option. He also made mixing boards, with the name "Voijta" on them, his son's name. He and I owned a TV shop together in Dallas TX from about 1982 to 1993. Quite a character! and a master at audio repairs of any kind. He said the red color was transmitted, but he used to tell a lot of stories and jokes about the regime and the aparatchiks.
