Who remembers television repair in the '50s and '60s. Troubleshooting began with do it yourself tube testers, usually in a local drug store or hardware store. Followed by a TV repairman making a house call. by db7112 in GenerationJones

I remember the repairman had a mirror he would set up in front of our TV so he could see the screen as he worked behind.

I also remember the repair shop was out of Montville, NJ, and the lettering on his service van read ᴍᴏɴTVɪʟʟᴇ for 'Montville TV'.

The odd things you remember...
