At a push I could rattle on about valves, klystrons and travelling wave tubes (electronic vaccuum tubes I mean) for 10 minutes though some of the more particular details I might have to gloss over.
Alas my knowledge of Strowger step by step telephone systems is a thing of the past.

My old fella used to fix TVs and we had a fair few of the old cabinets around (amongst other electrical paraphernalia) which we used to re-purpose as items of furniture such as coffee tables.
Used to love the smell created by smashing the old glass valves

Re: Subject matter expert
Just about anything; music, cooking, baking, nutrition, caring for dogs, woodcarving, interior camping / canoeing, interior hiking, painting, pyrography, making beaded jewelry, skin and hair.I can talk a lot.
Oddly enough I am perfectly ok with public speaking. Go figure.
