I remember watching our old black & white console while it blew
a cap.

It was an extended affair, lasting maybe a minute -- the
tv was making a keening noise as the picture bent inward on
one side.  Then "pop!" and the picture went away.

We never had tv repairmen -- Dad always fixed it.  He also
fixed my Hallicrafters S-38 at his shop while I watched, getting
rid of the 60Hz hum and adding a standard headphone jack.

As an avid SWL, the HF propagation experience helped a lot
with my Radioman rating in the CG.

Could also hear quite a bit about what was going on in
the world, thanks to having a very, very long longwire
antenna.  Building that was how Dad taught me to differentiate
between physical connections and electrical connections.  Made
from zip-cord, it went out the window, up a tree, then out to
a pole at one corner of the yard, then across to another pole
at the other end of the yard.  Great for DX listening.
