I remember one of these being at the grocery store as a kid. I didn't know at the time what it was for, but it had knobs and switches to play with.

Isn’t that what the instructions are for?

The instructions were probably more helpful for someone who knew what these tubes were. I was probably about 6 at this point, hadn"t been actively involved in much TV repair by this time, and I guess I somehow didn't pick up enough clues from the context of the instructions to put it all together before just leaping into playing with the dials and switches. You know, like a kid
