I am a bit younger but the first time I ever did a repair was taking
apart a tube CB radio and bringing the tubes to radio shack where they
had a tester.. It was a big box about the size of a video game.. You
plugged in the tube and hit the button.. I think I was about 8-10 at
the time.

When I was a kid there was a tube tester at the drug store. Radio
Shack sold to radio amateurs mostly, and it was downtown. Everything
was downtown there were no malls.
