The first time I ever saw an Ultronics board was at a hamfest here on Long Island. It was either 1975 or 1976 making me either 13 or 14. I had no idea exactly what it was but I could tell it was some kind of display tube. The seller wanted $5, which looking back the price Burstein Applebee wanted was about the going rate. I had $10 on me which was a lot of money back then from delivering papers. I wound up spending that $10 on a Navy surplus Dumont oscilloscope. I could not get both. Still have that old scope though in hindsight, the tubes would have been the better investment. But who was thinking any of that stuff would have value in the future? When I saw the exact same board from Poly Paks, then I knew exactly what it was and I had more money saved up to buy a board.
