Re: Back in my day...

Back in my day....

We could only dream of buying a Tektronix scope, so we built our own (all tube) oscilloscope from surplus parts. It worked.

We wanted Color Television, so Dad bought a Heathkit, and we built it.

When anything at home broke, we took it apart and figured out how it worked. About half the time we could get it working again.

About half the cars I drove had a three speed manual shift transmission...with the shifter on the steering column.

Our friends had air conditioning in their car.
