What he ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ said.
Back in the late 60's/early 70's they advertised radios and television sets as "solid state" meaning they didn't have vacuum tubes to burn out and be replaced.
(In the late 60's/early 70's, when I was about 10 years old, it was MY job to pull all of those tubes out of the television set. Dad drove me to the drug store where they had the machine to test them. I would test them and get a replacement for the bad tube from the door below the test area. Then I would re-install the tubes when we got home.)
