I think I fell for Bethany over a TV-7. She was like 10 or so, it was when her aunt-Whom I was dating- first started bringing her around. Bethany wanted to "See my Radios"...OK, 10-yr old girl, old radios, yeah, we'll be outta here in no time flat. Wrong. "What does THAT one do ? Turn THIS one on ! I wanna hear the OTHER one..." She sees the trusty TV-7 on my desk/workbench..."What's THAT thing ?!?" A tube tester. "Show me how to work it. Now, show me again. Now, get out of my way..." That young 'un sat on my lap for the next hour or so, tested EVERY tube she could get her mitts on...Kim, the aunt, piled up on the couch, & was soon snoozin' away. Me, I'm blown away by this kid who's goin' to town on my TV-7, & doing it RIGHT...Checked the voltage, settings, the whole 9 yards, for every tube she cked...But that's how she's ALWAYS been-Show her how to do something, & then Get Out Of Her Way. Yeah, I'll admit it-Kid has me FIRMLY wrapped around her little finger...
