Or expect to see a basket attached at the bottom giving rides to the little people (fairies in Ireland)
Wonder how that tube is changed and how much it costs ?

Absolutely fascinating....no wonder the art of the craft is almost lost, the knowledge needed runs the gamut from skilled glass blower to mechanical engineering to electrical engineering.......list is large. Someone should archive this guys entire knowledge of the process...
I can't imagine what start up costs would be for a company thinking of mass producing tubes again. No wonder the earth is scoured for old machinery capable of this type of thing...I hope I don't see the end of tube production in my lifetime....although we'll most likely run out of certain NOS types in the next 25 years...

I believe you all might enjoy this video of a french amateur radio operator making his own vacuum tubes. Much like the flickr photos, it's as interesting for what it show about the artisan as it is for what it shows about the vacuum tube. MAKE: Blog: Make your own vacuum tubes? |

I'm fascinated by tubes.
But are they very difficult to maintain? I'd love to get something simple to start off with.
