Pretty in pink, not a man bag!

Hotrodder, I'm afraid I have to correct that image somewhat, about first steps. Once, when I was sitting at a coffee table, I heard someone say that unfortunately she could no longer listen to her records by the Stones, the Cream, the Animals, the Kinks and Dylan. With my usual interest in technology – and more – I asked what exactly the problem was. Old-fashioned setup: turntable with crystal pickup connected to the Aux input of an old-fashioned tube radio. I more or less invited myself as technical support to do something about it. With a tool bag, soldering iron, AVO minor multimeter, not only triodes but also EF, ECF, ECH, ECL, EL and EZ tubes, the only thing I had to do was to replace a defective ECL tube (triode + pentode) tube in the low frequency/audio section.

Years ago I managed to destroy my AVO model 40 (I think it was) by absent mindedly testing mains voltage with the selector set to test "current". Bang!

Must say I dislike the expression "man bag".
Much prefer "Baise-en-ville."
For those that don't know this expression.......
