Back in the day, I did most of my own automotive work and repaired things like TV's. Things like tubes, capacitors, resistors were standardized enough so that consumers could keep things going for a reasonable cost if they were willing to put the effort in. Too much "black box" stuff these days. Congress is doing us dirt.
Yeah, this is why Radio Shack is dying. Back in the 80s we lived in Radio Shack. My dad was always making us help him fix something and he made us learn those stupid color codes for resisters etc.
Still have a meter I built from one of their kits. Remember the days when I would bring a bag of tubes to test at the "Tube Tester."
Kek. My dad build a TV from a kit he bought. By the time I was old enough to do anything real tubes were fading away, but I remember them. Somewhere around here I still have his card punch though.
Still have some Heathkits, all TTL though.
