- While talking about reaching high up places to perform repairs, I mentioned “cherry pickers“.
- Later on, I talked about the need to design ease of maintenance into various products and then I talked about old style televisions and radios which used vacuum tubes. I also talked about tube tester machines that were located in places like drug stores.
