Interesting thread. Has anyone accepted the oscilloscope yet? ;-)
Thanks Howard, for the trip down memory lane. Chemistry sets are,
unfortunately, a thing of the past due to "sanitization". Anyway, I remember
my mom programming an IBM 1401 for Illinois Bell back in the 60's. We used to
get to make punch cards and play witht he card sorter some times. I still have
a (40 pound) Tektroniks 465B oscilloscope that (mostly) works, and, if anyone's
interested in seeing a WORKING Tesla coil in action, just give me a call, or
visit my website. :-) I first saw one demonstrated in 1969 in high school.
Built my first one in 1983. Wonderful toy!
