  Radio TV Service
  Radio TV Service - The facade is styrene, with painted metal mesh to simulate grills above the windows. The outside light is constructed from aluminum tubing, a plastic button, and part of a necklace clasp to form the collar. I used to love going to this shop when I was a kid. It was a "messy guy" place.
   
  Shop Interior
  Radio TV interior - Basswood was used for the radio/ record player unit, the packing crate and the brown TV cabinet. For some reason, places like these, were always painted just one color: trim, walls and ceiling. This is the color I remember vividly.
   
  Repair Bench
  TV repair bench - When I was older, I would take apart TV's to study their insides. It was amazing to find that a lot of the picture tubes were round. The guts of this particular set were made from bits of plastic tubing, the ubiquitous aluminum tubing, and metal rods. The TV cabinet is styrene. Work surfaces from that time were often covered in linoleum, so I Xeroxed samples from a catalog to do the job.
