It is
Labor Day in America, so a
lot of RF Cafe visitors have the day off. Being engineers, technicians,
students, etc., even time off is often spent pursuing technical endeavors. Here
are a couple good electronics-related comics from a 1960 issue of Electronic
World magazine to help entertain you. They are from the days of in-home
television repair service, which of course is a thing of a bygone era when even
family doctors were still making house calls. The first comic might seem a bit
ridiculous, but often times getting a description of a particular type of noise
a TV set is making could help diagnose the problem. Enjoy the day wherever you
are.

"You say the sound went pfft ... pfft ... spissish, and the
picture blacked out. But are you quite sure it didn't go pflunk ... pflunk ... sissich,
instead?"
