I was 4 years old, listening to a record on headphones connected to this rig. Leaned too far back, and caught the 1/4 inch input jack on the headphones right in my fucking eyeball.

So that explains all the getting up at 5am to milk cows, feed calves and steers and pigs, (my sisters fed the chickens, ducks and geese), shoveling shit, picking rocks, and pulling weeds..........
Vacuum tubes hate that, so that's probably why they lost their vacuum on Fridays like clockwork...
Them cows were getting milked TV or not. Dead or alive, there weren't no days off.
Then the vacuum tubes failing on Friday evenings is truly a miracle of the modern age.
