Remembrances of vacuum tube days
As a young teenager, I developed a love for electronics which became a lifelong love affair. In those days vacuum tubes were the norm and solid state devices such as transistors weren't in usage then....

Saturday afternoon Me & Dad would rremove the back cover on TV and pull the Vacuum Tubes then off to Rexall Drug store to check them out on their Machine.
If needing a new one would check the tube number then open the bottom cabinet of the machine and get a new matching tube.
Then we would go across the street to Woolworths for a Crème Soda at the counter
Back home...go thru our list of where the tubes went...install them and then turn on the TV and watch 'Get Smart', 'Maverick', Yancy Derringer' depending on how long we were in town
Other Saturdays ME & DAD would load up the Apache PU and haul yard thrash to the DUMP
Boy were those fun times....Me & DAD
Thanks for bringing up the topic. Fond memories!!
