TVA ELECTRONICS "Your One Stop Electronic Repair Center"

Lower television prices and advancing electronics have DISCOURAGED bench repairs in the last decade or two.Johnny Ryback and Erik Hundrup made MAC TV rich, or so it seemed. The "Television Doctor" arrived at your doorstep, pulled a couple of tubes like Old Doc Wight did, and you felt better: your television worked again. Aluminum "Bow Tie" antennas reached for the clouds hoping for a "reception without snow."


Cable came in in the late 80s and taught us how easy to spend hundreds on channels and smut we didn't really need. The BIG DISH on South Main Street, NB, was flaunted by Mr. Mrs. Arthur Lindsey. Others followed suit. The Lindseys also were HAMS as in radio. Richard B. Johnson, resident radio genius, crafted an incredible radio at age 14. I know, as Dick sent a message to the Boston Marine Operator in c. 1958. "GO AHEAD, Sender" We panicked. LOL. Hervey Gadbois on his Mount Guyot location had everybody's Handle  as far west as East Overshoe! LOL.
