every time i hear that, i think of my Dad back in the 1950s...TV's and TV reception were terrible then...every time the TV would fade out or flicker, he would open up this big box of Vacuum Tubes, unplug the TV and start replacing the tubes in the back of the set..he would turn the TV back on, wait for the tubes to warm up and then see if the picture was any clearer...
if that didnt work he would climb up on the roof and turn the antenna around to get a better signal, while my Mom yelled out the window at him as the picture got better or worse...they are both dead now, but the Tubes are still around
