Hi all,

as a new member to this website I am looking for a way to learn more on the subject of valve radios.
i have always been involved with electronics but mainly listening to
and I remember my very 1st hi fi system I acquired at the age of 14....
nearly 40 years on, I have now resorted to listening fine music, via tube amplification......
i am somewhat of a handiman and I have also collected a half dozen old valve radios, purely for the love of it.....rather than for their value.
i would like to get more involved in learning how to fix, restore and work with valve radios, timber or bakelite.
the question is, does anyone know of a course, given by anyone or by TAFE or otherwise, for those who want to get into this hobby?
i am living in sydney and any feedback will be appreciated.

cheers
met
