Mostly every family had a "rich uncle", and it
was no exception in mine. Every time I visited him, he had something
different. One time a VHS player, another time a projection TV with the
large colored lamps out in front, a top-of-the-line Stereo, etc. My dad
would later follow suit and acquire something more modern. Like many out
there who lived during the late 70s to early 80s as a young kid -
I was always curious at what was behind the sounds and lights.
What was running the show? Using Dad's tools I took many of these things apart,
trying to make sense at how they worked. I luckily did not get shocked or
pinched, but I did get scolded at one time or another! To relieve my
household "boredom", I was given a bicycle in order to escape into the
world. Here along with other neighboring kids, the shopping plazas were
frequented and I was introduced to the many fine local coin-operated
arcade establishments that were around at the time.
