Hello, I am Marcelo I live in Austin, TX, United States.
My father retired as an electronic technician, he used to inspect admiral TV set production lines in a plant they had in Brazil.
I have a minor in electronics with major in information systems. Although I never worked with electronics until I developed a passion for vintage audio gear.
Now I restore vintage audio gear from the transistor era as a hobby.
I take pride in my work even though it is always a humbling experience.
Normally the equipment I restore comes out as good or better than original in terms of sound and I do what I can to help on the cosmetics.
My preferred approach goes much beyond a recap job.
Some other old farts love to hang out in my garage during the weekend to bring me stuff to look at, drink some beers and tell tales about their time in the industry/army/field, but I am sure they are just hiding from their wives.
I say it is all fine as long as they stop trying to make me fix their lawn mowers.
