If such a pulse did happen, would the damage to electronics be

If it was permenant, what would it take to repair the devices?

How extensive would the damage be, I mean would it be anything with a
transisitor? Would devices that ran on vacuum tubes be immune? What
about cars with mechanical points and old fashion ignition coils,
would they be spared?

s/transisitor/transistor

Hi DMP, how are things?

IIRC, and I'm sure someon will correct me if I am, the damage is permanent,
but only affects devices with transistors.

Your 1950's ford/chevy/GMC pickup would be absolutely fine.

I'm not sure what it takes to repair the damage, but I do know that is is
possible to harden electronics against the effects of EMP.

I copied and pasted the wrong damn post....I'm a noob, give me a
break.

:D

Yeah, and I'm a virgin too before anyone asks.

We figured :p

Bend the facts to fit the conclusion. It's easier that way.
