VINTAGE AND CLASSIC TELEVISION RECEIVERS

With the increase interest in classic television receivers typically of the 1950's and 1960's, Classic Radio Shop can offer repairs, servicing and restoration of these social icom's.

In fact I had started my electronics career at the age of 15 working for a little TV shop in Luton.  Little did I know then, that I would be working on televisions at the time considered old by the 1970's standard some 40 years plus later, "what goes around comes around" this statement is quite true.

I feel that with the technology now available with convertors like the popular Aurora and at very competitive prices, available from Crowthorne Tubes in the UK, more people now can enjoy these television receivers in their own home, not just in a museum or with the need of a high technical background in the technology to do it.

Because of this trend television receivers are showing signs of increase value, but just like radio just because its old, it may not reflect its true commercial value, so buyer beware.
As these period electronic chassis were built with standard off the shelf components it is not often that a set can not be brought back to life after some 40 years plus of sleeping, though one has to remember that certain components for example line output transformers , and to some degree the picture tube are specific parts and may be harder to source .

I offer a comprehensive workshop so as to be able to align and check the picture tubes emision as well.

It is planned to also offer TV receivers for sale and these can be shown fully working either at the workshops here or vis Skype if requested.
