It has to do with growing up surrounded by broadcast engineers and their collections of strange and wondrous magical boxes that plucked signals out of the air with glass bottles that glowed.
Radio is magic and you cannot prove otherwise.
Someone I follow boosted your post and I saw both the challenge and the picture of that RCA tube tester, and couldn't resist chiming in.

You're taking to someone who has a still growing collection of slide rules. 😆
Also, to address your last paragraph, this has unintentionally turned into me trawling for new accounts to follow. Glad you took the bait. 😄
