Newsgroup for television sets?
 

Hi-
Is there a newsgroup dedicated to buying/selling/parts/repairing vintage tv
sets?

Thanks!!

There are lots of vintage TV websites and no those websites are usually swop
boards for posting messages.

Making jokes on nazis is like making jokes on all who have sufferd under
the nazi regime like my own family...

Old TV repair is commonly discussed on rec.antiques.radio+phono.

There's also several TV repair veterans who regularly frequent
sci.electronics.repair.

One of the discussion boards at the Antique Radio Forum is dedicated to
antique television repair:

Phil Nelson has restored a few old TVs, and posted the details on his
website:

Sorry, we were the 'victors'... twice, as I recall, 'tard boy.

I rather doubt you'd wish for a third time.

'You' are hardly a 'victor' at all.
You are a loser.

But keep in mind that it is indeed about vintage equipment (not just
tv sets) so it's not about a twenty year old set. And I sure wouldn't
classify it as a newsgroup for buying and selling; any of that should
be secondary to discussion. And finally, it's not just about repairing.

sci.electronics.repair is of course about the repair of electronic devices.
And while old tv sets may use tubes, much of the basics are the same. The
faq, more like a number of books about repairing various electronic
devices, is at http://www.repairfaq.org

Why do you guys turn almost everything in here into an argument?
Most of which don't even pertain to the OP's topic nor shortwave
radio!

I've have DXturd on ignore since my first day in here. I caught on to
his game right-away.

I don't think you've ever been able to catch anyone on anything anywhere ever!

Now go tote that portable.

Try the rec.antiques.radio+phono newsgroup. It is mostly vintage radio
but there is often discussion of vintage television.
