Yesterday when looking for something else (I've now forgotten what!), I ran into this great YouTube channel featuring a guy who repairs/resurrects old TVs and radios: https://www.youtube.com/user/shango066
Be warned! It's easy to get sucked into these videos for hours! He's a really "seat of his pants" engineer, and has a generally great sense of how these old electronic devices work, and watching his process poking through bodging things back to life is great fun.
Can all registered uses please login, even just for a few minutes..

Another channel I like is Mr Carlsons Lab. Now his videos can get a bit long, but I do find them very interesting when I'm in the mood as he looks at a lot of old radio stuff that is hand wired and tube based, it's quite enlightening.
