The B&W TV went out and Dad and I would make a “map” of the tubes location on the TV Circuit Board then taking out the ones We thought were bad and then We would go to the Drugstore or Hardware Store and use the Tube Tester and then buy replacement tube(s) for the bad ones, take them home and put the TV back together and Pray it worked.

Now all those tubes are crammed into a chip the size of a Dime.
