Or building a tester and then checking all the tubes in ur neighbornood.
Being able to walk to 2 or 3 supply houses that were in close proximity, and
drool over all the goodies, one would usuall have a ham section.
Being able to buy coils, air variables and any type of xformer off the
shelf.
Building projects for all ur friends and there dads. 
Owning a chassis punch and nibbler and knowing how to use them.
Working for TV shop and installing antennas. Weren't those old attics fun!
Knowing what all the rings were on the TV tube and how to set them.
Working AM and CW only.

Nice menories.
