[Elecraft] OT Old Radio Days

[Don Brown]

Hay I still have a nibbler (hand and air powered) and an assortment of ch=
assis punches. I have put up hundreds of TV antennas and I think I can st=
ill do a fairly good convergence job on a color CRT. I even have a color =
bar generator around here somewhere. I would much rather work on and buil=
d radios than have anything to do with the insides of a TV.

When I was a kid I would ride the bus some 20 miles to downtown Dallas an=
d spend hours in the surplus department at Crabtrees Electronics. It was =
full of WW2 radio stuff and other junk. I would spend most of my allowanc=
e there until they went out of business or I discovered girls I don't rem=
ember which.
