Got some weird kit tv????

I'm glad Carmine was just being the anti-repair guy. Had me going there for a minute.

I started messing around with old radios around 1963, when I was seven.

I replaced a picture tube in a B/W GE console when I was nine, with my dad's help... he helped me sit the CRT in the mask properly, then I took over.

Started doing basic TV repairs for friends of our family when I was eleven.

Got a parts account at the local electronic parts jobber when I was fourteen.

Got a $40 car, a 1960 Dodge, and learned from it by taking it apart and putting it back together again. Today I do almost all of my own auto repair. My mom loves this, as she has never had to take a car to the shop with ME around.

If it had not been for my dad, and my uncle Wayne showing me the basic ways to use tools, and work on electrical things, I sincerely don't know what I would have wound up doing for a living for all of my work career.
