The instructions were probably more helpful for someone who knew what these tubes were. I was probably about 6 at this point, hadn"t been actively involved in much TV repair by this time, and I guess I somehow didn't pick up enough clues from the context of the instructions to put it all together before just leaping into playing with the dials and switches. You know, like a kid

I remember one of these being at the grocery store as a kid. I didn't know at the time what it was for, but it had knobs and switches to play with.

The war criminal Henry Kissinger is finally dead.

I am currently wearing a pair of shorts that I bought sometime in the late '80s. The top blanket currently on my bed was made by my grandmother in the '70s. The clock right in front of me was made during WW2, but I've only had it for a couple of decades. I guess I just don't throw shit away

Edit: now that I think of it, my bed is probably from the '30s or '40s.

Surely, not proofreading the title before submitting disappointed him more than whatever you were trying to say

Yeah, I don't think spoons, and sandwiches, and socks are going to change that much. Most 'tech' changes a couple of times in a single lifetime (this was true even several hundred years ago), but the basics stay largely the same. Language is how they'll catch you
