I remember replacing tubes. Glad that is gone. Stuff consistently just works so much better now.
We can complain about having to toss out the item instead of repair... however that computer is 100x less expensive due to avoiding vacuum tubes. So replace it 100x before you cry about the cost. Cellular phone with tubes? Forgetaboutit.
