Pretty soon you were back to watching all three channels again

I was telling a youngun the other day how in my youth radios and tv's had tubes and dad would pull the back off of it and thump the tubes to see if they'd come back on. He'd replace one or two and keep it going and we kids learned from our dads how to work on things unlike today where most everything is throw away. I bet even the Maytag repair man does things different now days.
