This photo from 60 years ago shows someone doing a job that doesn’t exist any more, namely, TV repair. In particular, it shows Tempe, Arizona, TV serviceman Dick Ramos, owner of the three person company. In addition to himself, he employed an assistant who rode with him on the truck, and an office girl who staffed the shop downtown, taking phone calls and walk-in service requests. Ramos pointed out that it wasn’t necessary to hire a highly trained television repairman to staff the shop. “In a short time an intelligent office girl will know more about a television set than 95 per-cent of the customers she deals with.” Ramos contracted with a radio paging service to relay messages during the day, and he maintained an efficient operation. The truck contained a complete shop with a full array of test equipment, as well as a complete set of service bulletins.
