I was a bad kid on occasion... In the late 60s, I was about 2 or 3 and I recall DELIBERATELY twisting every pot on the front of my mother's friend's Admiral 21" roundie. I was instructed severely NOT TO TOUCH IT!!!!!. Well, you tell an Irish toddler NOT to do something in that tone of voice, and consider it DONE. Even if the person doing the severe instruction happened to be an Air Force Captain.

Best I can tell, they never figured out how the TV got screwed up. I remember the owners of the TV complaining "What happened?! It seems to have a problem" ... "I guess we'll call for repairs". That's about all I remember. So Capt. P. Drawhorn of Torrance, CA; I confess.
