I can't really make fun of "clueless"

Most of my "trashpicked" or "swap meet" sets, I had NO clue what they were. I STILL haven't found a single reference to the old Quasar 9" "hard luck" TV I put back together a couple months ago.

It wasn't until I came on HERE that I started being interested in more than "looks cool" little old B/W sets.

The Sony S8-301 was the very first set I was actually "educated" when I first saw it. If I hadn't seen Nelson's thread on his work on one.....I would have thought "cool..old Sony"...and not "OMG! THAT is the little Sony Nelson recapped!". I picked it up (after walking by it like four times)...KNOWING I had somewhere to go if I got stuck :-)

NO longer "clueless". I can't even watch the movie "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" without going "I wonder WHAT set that is the computer is watching?" (BTW...I STILL wanna know what set that was :-P )
