Any of you Philcofanatics every think of doing a video series on Philco restorations (for the beginners like me) from beginning to end or offering an on-line course or a hands on course on antique radio restorations? Might sound like a crazy idea but thought I would throw it out there to see what the opinions would be.

I think this would help beginners like me and increase the interest in the hobby. So the knowledge and experience does not get lost. I am only 35 years old and there does not seem to be too much interest in people my age in this hobby. I belong to the local radio club but am not able to devote as much time as I like to it and it is around 1hr away.

Just my 2 cents any comments appreciated.

Chris
