After all the years and years of working and doing for everyone else now that I'm retired this is my time. ![ThumbsUp :-+](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/icon_smile_thumbsup.gif.pagespeed.ce._JElyJQqdB.gif)
Marc Almond - The days of Pearly SpencerModified by BU508A to
The days of Papa "Tek" Smurf
A tenement, a dirty scope
Abused and broke, but he has hope
Inside it's clean and so complete
Just need a loving hand
His eyes are having this special gaze
Watching as the patterns race
On the screen and grid with that green trace
And the CRT's brightness shuns
Chorus:
The days of Papa "Tek" Smurf
Ahh Ahh Ahh
The repair has just begun
Comparing scope with schematic maps
Looking at the swollen caps
Removing too their tantalum chaps
He desolder on and on
Order replacements for the repair
But only at Mouser because they are fair
Delivered by UPS because they care
About parcels on the run
Chorus:
The days of Papa "Tek" Smurf
Ahh Ahh Ahh
The repair has just begun
Papa throws the caps in the bin
wait for the new ones while rub his chin
But on-time delivery makes him grin
Soon the repair will be done
Waves of square that can't be beat
The issue's gone bowed in defeat
Adjustment's done the spec's were meet
The gorilla's fails undone
Chorus:
The days of Papa "Tek" Smurf
Ahh Ahh Ahh
The repair is on the run
The days of Papa "Tek" Smurf
Ahh Ahh Ahh
The repair is on the run
The repair is on the run
A tenement, a now clean scope
Reparied, burned in, a connected probe
Adjusted, but it was hard to cope
All exertions now are gone
It's placed now next to the chairs
Will be used in service for many years
The issues now are memories
Written down in a thread well known
Chorus:
The days of Papa "Tek" Smurf
Ahh Ahh Ahh
The repair is finally done ...
