[QUOTE="TJExcalibur, post: 1040069, member: 189039"] I started as a kid in the fifties, poor as hell but used to find anything mechanical or electrical and take it apart, it often stayed apart. I think I still have the first Philips CD player in bits in the roof space. I once propped an old radio speaker on the window sill outside of my little box room bedroom. Realised when wired up to a 9v battery it would clunk so I made it clunk non stop. Did a circuit across the pendulum in an old clock, every swing it would "clunk", could hear it down the bottom of the road. Left it going for ages until the Frenchman across the road told my mother he would strangle me if he could. Now I love to tinker but had my first sat set up as a 50th present in 1992. Kept calling them back and they said I had altered the settings, well maybe but as often no signal and discovered the cowboys had run the cable across the carpet gripper rod. [/QUOTE]
