    Had a part time after school job with a TV repairman. (remember those? It was the job of the future.) There were three color TVs in town and the only day we could make house calls to adjust them was on Saturday. The only programs in color up 'till then were the Saturday morning cartoons.

    Remember having to wait for the TV to warm up?

    I have a large supply of tubes and even a tube tester in my basement.

    Generators instead of alternators and the first thing you did when they didn't work was change the brushes.
