Just wondering whether that new brand of rosin-core solder ever took off...
Was there really a Kaye-Halbert TV? I assume that's one of the names changed
to protect the innocent.
I wonder if all those green dots the guy applied improved the picture and/or
sound quality...
Yes, there was. Don't you ever do any research?

I'm old enough to remember when a GP charged /five dollars/ for a house
call. Five dollars was a lot of money then (ca 1955).
I'd place the show as somewhat earlier - probably 1952 or 53. $100

As Stan Freberg would say... a second dress for your wife.The best I can do for a field service call, to replace a single
component, is about $125 today. However, much of this
added overhead isn't from inflation. It's from increased tax
burden, increased overhead, insurance requirements,
anticipated warranty funding, inventory depreciation charges,
and supporting my decadent and lavish lifestyle.
Perhaps you should try Google instead of searching your browser?Yes, there was. Don't you ever do any research?

posting to Usenet?
In any case, lighten up - I was only teasing you a bit.
