LOL! I bet your gramp was way cooler because of that

Well, he did have an old jukebox and a giant television set--you know, the early tube TVs that took a few minutes to warm up--as old as Moses. Which is to say, my grandparents' basement looked like an antique shop, but we had a lot of fun. ;)

Speaking of old electronics... the first color TV we had was a HUGE 24” Heathkit that my dad put together. Made in USA baby, as a kit... remember those days?

He also put together his own ‘HI FI’ and did I mention he was a radar tech in the USAF and even taught engineering... he spent a lot of time at Thule when I was growing up, so when he came home I was a curious lil devil constantly messing with his oscillators and tubes (not related to TEH TUBES)
