I think my wife would really like that for sentimental value. Know anybody in KC, electrical handy man, garage project guy, who could fix something like this?

Haven't heard that name in a while. We had a Curtis Mathes TV in the 70s. I hated it because I wanted a new TV with a remote. My dad said he already had a remote to change the channels for him--me. "Cool" fan though.
