1940's signal generator
Recently, I was repairing an old circa 1940's signal generator.
The point-to-point wiring on this is like a work of art!
I accidentally left a box of NOS vacuum tubes on the porch outside when I was moving out of the office yesterday. It dipped below freezing last night, so now they'll sound better because they've been cryo-treated.

This is a neat series on building all the tools for creating vacuum tubes from scratch. @North is worth a follow!

Hi, looking forward if anyone has any "unwanted tubes" and/or "some tubes available for some small projects NOT at IMPOSSIBLE prices". I am NOT looking for stuff like KT88/EL34/etc. more like ECC81 some "final pentode" for some small size "little projects". I live in UK I don't know much "where to look for tubes". I mean last time I really bought a tube was around 10 pounds, now I see the same tubes at 100 pounds each that scares me ! Thanks in advance foe any info.
Working on an old #zenith #antiqueradio for a friend. Model is #H845 - top of the line for its day in the 1960s. I haven't really dabbled with a #vintage #radio yet, but, watching and learning from lots of vids. So far, tested some #tubes and replaced 3 bad ones, though I might replace them all to ensure it continues working for a while since it's for a friend and I also bought a whole set of #NOStubes from Bob Dobush's site: www.findatube.com -- highly recommend for #vacuumtubes
Hmmm... Maybe #ChatGPT and #AI just needs to be run on computers that run on #VacuumTubes Better yet, make them #GrooveTube
My favorite power tube: the Groove Tubes KT66HP. I run these in my very rare early 2000s Mesa/Boogie F-50 narrow chassis 1x12 combo. Mesa tells me only about 400 were made before they changed to the Wide Body chassis/cab. I have a small stash of these that will probably last the rest of my life. #guitar #amplifier #vacuumtubes
@autisticompulsive @actuallyautistic I have a large collection of #VacuumTubes (aka "#valves"), mainly because I think they're cool. Here's a short video I made of one: https://youtube.com/shorts/_bWbuXFTv2I
