In 1977 I took an old B&W TV (tubes!), took the yoke off the neck of the picture tube, and put another one on. Then I ran the wires from the yoke to the speakers (left X, right Y) of an 8-track player that had a built-in amplifier, and popped in Wish You Were Here. Invited some friends over, had a couple of doobs and beers, and dubbed it the Orgasmatron, after the gadget in Sleeper. We were super excited to bring the rig to a bigger party the next evening; it was awesome. So the next evening my buddy and I are packing up the mess to bring to the party, and we start heading up the stairs from the basement lair of our family home. My friend had the TV by the top handle, leading the way. Suddenly we hear this little ‘whoosh’ and crack sound. Sure enough, my buddy had whacked the neck of the picture tube (sticking out the open back of the TV) on the banister. He was standing there on the bottom step, frozen. I burst into laughter. Another glorious invention that literally never made it out of the basement.
