I'm still a bit annoyed at my Dad. He lived an incredible life, and was such a hoarder that he had an incredible array of stuff, but he got rid of all of it before he died. Reason I mention that is that I reckon showing my son that you could build a basic digital computer from old vacuum valves would be a hoot. Dad started out as a radio tech with the RAAF, and used to have crates of old stuff, but sadly it’s all gone.

Go build a valve amp with your kid then. Everyone loves looking at glowing valves!!!!
