Your a young fellow and we need them since most of us vacuum tube repairman are old and total out of style in this disposable age.BTW the USAF had a vacuum tube computer for the SAGE system in the 50' & 60's compare to today's equipment it was primitive, yet the basics remain the same today. Back then the registry was call a parameter table and programming was in BAL [basic machine language].So keep on fixing so the skills don't phase array like us.

BTW the USAF had a vacuum tube computer for the SAGE system in the 50′ & 60’s compare to today’s equipment it was primitive, yet the basics remain the same today. Back then the registry was call a parameter table and programming was in BAL [basic machine language].

So keep on fixing so the skills don’t phase array like us. Remember all those 1’s & 0’s are just battery and ground!
