When my dad first started Trenton Tech in 1947, on Stockton St, it was a Radio & TV repair and Upholstery school. Just about every TV repair shop owner started at Trenton Tech.
Barb: I remember a friend of my fathers always came out to fix our TV sets. His name if I'm right was Stan Pianowski, his shop was on Second St. in South Trenton. I'm thinking it was America TV and Radio, but that maybe be wrong.
Joe Z...it was Stan Piontowski. Then there was Mike Gallagher, Joe Genavario (College TV) and so many more. Dad used to stop by the closest TV shop to get a tube for our TV, they all spoke very highly of him as Dr Freund. TV repair was very "high tech" in it's day.
My Uncle Al Zorichak used to fix
TV's and worked at College TV.
Not the '60's, Whitey's on S Clinton. My dad worked there p/t and brought home the neighborhood's first TV..a 13" with a magnificator...wow!
Mack, My Dad was a good friend of Whitey's. The TV store was on S. Clinton, middle of the block, between Roebling and Beatty (I think). Back in the 1950s, you could purchase a complete kit of a Cris Craft cruiser or speedboat. My Dad was a cabinet maker and wood craftsman. Whitey purchased a kit for a 21 foot cabin cruiser. My Dad built it in the back warehouse behind the store. It was a big boat, powered by a 6 cylinder Chrysler marine engine. They finished the boat and then couldn't get it through the garage door out to the alley. They had to remove a portion of the wall, in order to make the turn into the narrow alley. Quite an event. The boat was beautiful, white hull, mahogany deck and powder blue roof and lots of accessories. I wonder if Saxman's dad ever mentioned the boat.
