The instructions were probably more helpful for someone who knew what these tubes were. I was probably about 6 at this point, hadn"t been actively involved in much TV repair by this time, and I guess I somehow didn’t pick up enough clues from the context of the instructions to put it all together before just leaping into playing with the dials and switches. You know, like a kid
I remember one of these being at the grocery store as a kid. I didn’t know at the time what it was for, but it had knobs and switches to play with.
Isn’t that what the instructions are for?

It’s understandable that you weren’t into TV repair at that age, but not being able to fix a stereo or radio at six is kind of sad.
Well, yeah, and boy did the other kids let me know it
Y’all got me laughing over here.
I suppose you were such a pathetic child that you couldn’t even program a VIC-20? 🙄
No, no. The Timex Sinclair was my first. The sealed keyboard design was perfect for the occasional milk spills
