Ah yes, that contraption that overheated the filament and then vibrated the
cathode until the oxidation flaked off giving you a clean raster for a
little while longer.  My very last Heathkit I built was the transistor curve
tracer that fed into the oscilloscope for the display.  That way  I could
buy up those drums of industrial surplus transistors and check the paramters
of the good ones and use them in my repair business.

Jesus, what a head full of old useless things I have.

remember things that I do not wish to remember but, I cannot forget things I
would wish to forget".
