like this one (http://obsoleteskills.wikispot.org/Changing_vacuum_tubes)


Some other good stuff on this 'obsoleteskills" site, like hand-cranking a car (done it -my bro has a 4 cyl, which had a crank doohickey)!

Nice one. I did my degree over 20 years ago and tube technology wasn't even taught then. I had to learn it (to build my first amp) from the "old" guys in the workshop.

If you read comments on YouTube regularly I'd suggest some other things that are all but obsolete these days.

Manners, Respect, Intelligence, Empathy, Grammar, Spelling, Education, and Humility for starters..

(Yeah I've been watching videos on YouTube a lot lately for info on another of my hobbies and have been just appalled at the things people say to each other. Anonymity seems to be a curse.)
