A little about me:
It is my passion to bring you the very finest restoration I can. My quest to explore, diagnose, repair and service electronic and mechanical devices began when I was 7 years old. I\'d get up very early, everyday in the Summer and on Saturday mornings during the school year. I\'d take my Huffy bicycle around TV service and electronic repair store rubbish areas. I\'d hit the trash cans of neighbors, industrial and retail centers, collecting interesting specimens of electronic chassis and motor driven gizmos, to dissect, study and organize. In my teens I built and studied projects from Heathkit and other schematics featured in Mechanics Illustrated, Electronics Illustrated and similar related publications. In the Navy I went to school, studied and worked as an Aviation Electrician repairing and servicing military aircraft. Now that I\'m retired, I still love to tinker with electronic and mechanical devices. If the item is old and moves, engages, lights up, or makes sound, I am driven to dismantle, clean, readjust and rebuild the device. I have several radios, record players, amplifiers, and color wheels that I will be restoring over the next several years. My goal is to make these old, vintage devices function like new again. They sure don\'t make-em like they used to. Cheers: Daniel
