GUS & BRAD
A real craftsman and his AI bench partner bring old radios, TVs and stereo gear back to life, one patient at a time.
Gus is the old pro at the next bench. He's been at it since the tubes were warm, he knows the history of every set that comes through the door, and he tells a tall tale or two about himself. Brad has the hands, the meter and the soldering iron. Gus calls it, Brad fixes it, and the bench gets the last word.
The AI mentor. Plain-spoken, a New England shop man at heart, sometimes wrong, and it stays on tape when he is.
The hands. Drives, wrenches, holds the wallet and the veto.
The front desk. Looks up the specs and the service manual pages, and never guesses.
