So what is YOUR story...

In the mid 60's, I soldered a coaxial cable across either side of the resistance element of the volume control of my 19" Airline B&W TV set and an RCA plug on the other.

I plugged the RCA plug into an aux input of one channel of my Lafayette LA-224A 6 wpc tube integrated amp. I then sat back and waited tor the world to catch up.

It finally started to about 20 years later with broadcast MTS stereo and stereo VCR's in the 80's .

Good one. Hadn't thought about this for a while. I started in the audio side myself. Back 1964-65 living in an Atlanta suburb, I pulled the flat wire antenna on the pressboard back panel of a tube table radio and climbed up to the second story of the house (I was in 5th ot 6th grade) and nailed it to the fascia on the north facing side and above the window to my bedroom. Ran a piece of 300 ohm twin lead down and under screen and through window frame.

I had a transistor multi band radio with A/C adaptor. Tied one side of the twin lead to the end of the whip antenna and the other to the negative in the battery compartment.

AM radio was the thing back then. At night when the DX came in I could get stations from Detroit real well, Memphis and Wolfman Jack from LA sometimes. The Detroit Motown stuff was my favorite - I can almost hear Martha Reeves and Vandellas right now. It was all about audio through the 60's, 70's, 80's for me.

Finally interfaced a 30" Toshiba TV with stereo system back in '89 and the rest is history - system has been is constant state of metamorphasis ever since......
