elto, hi. Probably entering KNX KNXT in Los Angeles when I was a kid to be on Captain Jet (kiddie program) and seeing huge VU meters and all kinds of tubey things inside. I also got wobbly in the knees seeing NBC Burbank's television theater (live tv) where they had a B&W television projector. This was science fiction! I was mesmerized. Also - hearing a JBL Paragon set up in the lobby of Graumann's Egyptian. Gazing in the back of a Capeheart radio/78 record player. I loved to look at the tubes at work. Building my first tubey things from EICO kits in 1959 Philadelphia where we had moved from LA. Thanks, Dad!
