Hi Barry here from WA - located in Waroona about 100km south of Perth
In my 75th year still repairing and restoring valve gear as a hobby/sideline.
Trained as a radio tech in the RAAF in 1970
Came back to this when I retired as I have had other jobs for years but kept my hand in as a hobby.
Focus on valve gear mostly but get to repair the occasional early transistor gear.

Haven't seen this site before so will explore ,,,
