By the late 60's Leo, Devry had been accredited to confer bachelor's degrees in electronics.
So, when I got discharged from the USAF in 1968 I enrolled in the engineering program
at DeVry. Living in the Chicago suburbs meant that I was close enough to the main campus
that I could drive in for full time classes in the morning. After the first year of agony, my lack
of math background had overrun me and I finally had to admit that I didn't have the right stuff
to become an engineer.
It was at this time that I also realized that electronics had changed so radically over the last
decade, that the old radio shop was a thing of the past. Television had taken over and most
electronic repair was becoming "Works in a Drawer" or throw away.
So......the one thing that I did come away with, was a fairly good understanding of the basics
and with some effort and study from the correspondence courses and old text books I can
usually figure out a simple circuit.
But when it comes to anything that has more then 6 tubes or is solid state.....I'm lost.
