Sitting in the back seat of my dad's 53 Ford begging to have him play the radio (he preferred silence), him finally relenting, and me watching the dial begin to glow as the radio warmed up.
Buying my first stereo kit from Lafayette Radio at their store a few miles east of us on Long Island, carefully soldering all the little do-dads in place, and that first power-up cycle as the tubes did their thing. It worked perfectly from that first day. That kit was followed by several others, some tubes and then solid state.
Wow, dusty memories for me, thanks for jogging them loose!
