That's rather unfair. Whilst I cut my teeth on old radios like that (which were essentially obsolete when I was a kid), and their operation is second nature to me, I know many electronics people brought up on transistors, ICs and 5-Volt supply rails that wouldn't know where to begin fixing one. For starters, plate voltages upwards of 250V scare the shit out of them.

I worry about burning up a chip, and they worry about getting zapped! We share experiences, fix or build a few things and it all works out fine.
