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

It’s understandable that you weren’t into TV repair at that age, but not being able to fix a stereo or radio at six is kind of sad.

Y’all got me laughing over here.
I suppose you were such a pathetic child that you couldn’t even program a VIC-20? 🙄
