Youngest restorer yet
#16

Thank you so much, Dennis!

pgt, my first thought was to grab a camera. Awesome memories to pull out in 20 years. Great to hear of other kids interested, too!

I've been fascinated by everything electrical my entire life. My first obsession was with fans, which actually turned out to be my first word Icon_biggrin I would 'plug' devices and cords into the furniture cushions before my parents would let me near a real outlet. It's grown since then to old computers, digital circuitry, electrical design and finally now analog vacuum tube circuits. The theory has always been slow in coming, but I think I know 'enough to be dangerous', as they say.

There has never been any stigma in our family for raiding trash piles. You can find the best stuff! I've picked up many computers and televisions; even my solid hardwood desk came off one.
