Off to See the Wizard: An Analog Tech Story - JONNICOM

Watching with auto-captions may be a good idea! I cleaned up the audio as best I could, but it may help to read along!

When I met Joe, I intended for this video to be a documentary about his day to day shop operations. But what it turned into was much more. From Joe's history in electronics, to the history of CRT televisions, video games, pinball, vintage audio equipment, and more... we covered all sorts of interesting topics in this one. I hope you enjoy the story. I think it's a special one, and I hope you watch to the end!
