Youngest restorer yet
#20

The thing is, you can change as you get older. I had zero interest in electronics when I was young. My dad did everything he could to get me interested, but I wouldn't have it. I remember, I was about 11, and he bought me a crystal radio kit, but he ended up assembling it... I wasn't interested at all. At age 14, I could tear down any motorcycle engine and all I was interested in were motorcycles, and later, cars... Then, around age 26, I started tinkering with computers (Commodore 64, to give you an idea of how long ago)... Now, I am mid-50s and I can't get enough of radios, soldering, tinkering.. Once the bug bites you! Icon_smile
