When I was a kid, from 8-10 years old or so, I had a vac tube collection. Rummaged from old radios, tv sets, etc. I had them all cataloged and liked to build nasty sounding amps and whatnot from various tubes that were never meant for such duty.
I know, I was a really weird kid, just let that go.
I grew out of that stuff by 12 or so when I had moved on to the world of 'modern', digital computers (read: 10 year old IBM that was found in a trash can by my uncle). We moved around this time, and my father asked why I had all the old vacuum tubes. He said I needed to get rid of some junk, and made me throw them out. I obliged, and threw bags and bags of tubes away. It was a shame.
