How about 40s-50s home radios ? My Ma's 
ole wooden clunker - that I still listen to on
weekends - needs tubes - does anyone still 
manufacture an assortment of tubes ?

Telling the memories in those " and do you remember "
sessions keeps a lotta stuff "going", which is why it's
*so* hard to be the "sole survivor". Don't ask, OK ?

Seems to me the issue is between trickle-down and building up. The
trickle-down theory seems to depend on the largesse of the few at the top.
The building up is based on a strong foundation.

Again, I reach for real estate to illustrate. Entry-level housing is the
broad foundation of the huge real estate pyramid. Fifty-million-dollar
estates are at the pinnacle. Entry-level houses gain equity, young workers'
income rises; their families enlarge; they buy larger, second-level houses.
This continues over their working lives. Each tier above is narrower than
the one below. And it is the foundation that holds it all up. Build a
stronger, wider foundation and the entire house is the better for it.
