Thanks for posting that link. I'm an Electrical Engineer and have worked with vacuum tubes for over 30 years. I have not, however, ever seen anyone make one. This was excellent!

That was wild....

Most of that equipment I've never seen before in my life.

Simply amazing...

I guess some of you are thinking about the same thing I am:

In a not so distant future, when it is no longer profitable to manufacture vacuum tubes in Eastern Europe and China , this is what is left - a couple of engineer geniuses who make them by hand, in the cellar of their house! Good handmade tubes will probably cost a pretty penny.

Hmmm...maybe I shouldn't buy that Ampeg SVT...
