Gosh now I feel old/odd. My first job outside the family business was
helping in a TV repair shop, about 1954. You guys speak as if you
barely remember.

I think it goes back to the day of early TV sets were the cord female
plug was riveted to the back plate. I remember a TV tech at our house
around 1951 complaining that he left his cheater cord back at the shop.
