[QUOTE="Chris Davis, post: 23802, member: 137"] Re: When did you know? Like some of the others, I got started as a kid. I was maybe about 8 years old or so and it was the late 60s. It all started for me with our "good" reel-to-reel tape recorder. By plugging in a mic and and external speaker and pushing Record, I had a portable "PA system". Then I started tearing the motors and speakers out of broken old appliances that my friends gave me. After that I got into a little harmless "circuit bending" with high voltages and vacuum tubes. Learned a lesson or two, or not. More fun than a barrel of monkeys though. Then came high school and college. Then the family. I'm really still just a kid at heart though. :) [/QUOTE]
