Actually, I had quite a collection of old electronic and telegraph
instruments, gotten from a local junkyard of which our landlord was the
owner. Alas, my small collection was junked while I was in the Army. My
grandmother had my stuff and when she moved, instead of asking me to take
it back, sent it all -- including my first radio, a homemade two-tube
receiver -- to the trash.
I'd imagine many of us have such memories from our youth. People who do
things they are interested in, last longer at them.
