My late father preceded me in the CPA practice.  A longtime client of his, starting back in the early 1960s, was "Mack's Radio and TV Repair".  My, how things have changed. RIP Mack and RIP "Pop".

Our local tube testing place was an electronics store, "Lombard's Electronics" on Main St.(it's a Carpeteria now). Sadly, there was no ice cream there. I'd have liked going a lot more if there had been.

I had a couple of them.

I think today you might have some trouble

For us "geezers" it was just another fun toy.

Thanks
