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....

I remember those days too. I was also fascinated with electronics back then. Took courses in high school too. I still work on electronics to this day. I built a TV in high school using scrap parts and an oscilloscope to trace the circuits. It was early solid state, no tubes.
I do remember those tube checkers and have used them myself.
I had an old tube portable record player I used to take apart and fix. It kept blowing one particular tube. And don't ask me why I remember it was a 50EH5.
My first car was a 48 Pontiac. It had a massive tube radio in it.
Good memories.
