But an even bigger shock lay in that old box. I had "air tapes"
of my some of my broadcasts. I took them to work and covertly
dubbed them CD. No way I am going to let my coworkers hear how I
sounded at 14. If I hadn't promised my Mom and wife I would have
bulk earsed then burned the old tapes. I remember that I borrowed
a friends "Norelco" open reel to reel. 7.5IPS. How professional.
It is almost funny. My voice hadn't dropped yet, so I sounded a lot
like my sister.
The Knight kit is going to require a complete overhaul. My Dad was
much smarter then I knew. He made an isolation transformer for the
hot chasies KnightKit from two back to back 120V:24V 4 amp
transformers.
I didn't understand why, all I knew is he threatened to take my toys
away
if he ever found out I was not using the transformers for the


KnightKit

or the Zenith. Damn that man sure was smart 40 years ago.



I've often discovered that our parents suddenly get
a lot smarter once we get married and have kids of our
own. ;-)




Yeah - Mark Twain once said: "When I was 14 years old, I thought
my father was the stupidest man on the face of the earth. And when I
was 21, I was AMAZED at what my father had learned in only seven years!"
