TV MIKE Says.
Many people try to repair their T.V
or Radio. This we approve of whole
heartedly.
It really doesn't take a Technician
fuse or burned out tube.
It re. .
to replace a fuse or burned out tul
But, beyond these relatively simi
repairs technical knowledge and ex-
perience can save many hours of
guessing and many dollars of replace
ment parts.
For those Do-It-Yourself "Techni
clans" who want to go farther than
the simple repairs—we at T.V. Center
offer expert advice and our Technical
Library. These facilities are at
disposal
too.
