Re: [IRCA] Informal "poll"

Russ,

I started with BCB as a kid. Probably about 10 or 11. Our next door 
neighbor was carrying a LARGE old wooden Philco radio from the 40's out 
to the curb to throw away. It seems that where they had it stored in 
the attic of a house they were renting, someone had stolen all the tubes 
out it. He gave it to me and I sat down with a tube substitution book 
and my Dad's box of tubes and was able get it running again. I think I 
learned to solder replacing a couple of old caps that had dried out. 
Still have it.
