Historically October and, November is when most of my work orders come in, 60~80% at this time! Often taking till Feburay or later to work all of those off. Then after the spring Barrett-Jackson AZ auction and, Daytona 500. IF You wait till March to get on my work list, You may not receive You project back untill August or later. So IF You hope to have Your project finished by spring You need to be on my work list by early November. Because after having my head stuck in radios all winter come spring i am ready to get outside to watch the wind blow and, grass grow! Myself.
My electronic service skills come from going on my first TV service call with my Dad at the age of eight. Certified and, trained by RCA & Motorola on there audio products at 13, Delco in 1967 at the age of 14. Working with the top recording studio builders and, live touring sound companies in the world with 43+ years of on the job traning in electronic sound system service! AND, I still learn on every unit i work on!
P/S: I did not get Zenith's certification back in the day because they all ready had a TV tech in the area BUT i did do his audio work!

In 1967 just as i turned 14 I was the only one Delco found in a nation wide search through all the schools looking for "young ones" to train as there upcoming radio techs! The next man on the list was 55. A few years later Dr. M.R. Bose was certified.
I was told by the time i was 50. GM expected a 1955 Corvette to be worth $20,000.00 and they wanted to make sure there would be factory trained techs to take care of there radios!
