Hi.
When I came into the trade in 1970 the majority of repairs were actually quite old. People were still running late 40's radio right up to fairly new items. On the TV front there were many many sets from the late 50's and many customers wouldn't change to 625 line sets. Let's not forget that later on you actually may not see a new model till it had run a few years.
Where I agree with you is building sets, great learning curve and brilliant fun.
