That's gotta be one of the coolest things I've seen in awhile!

Talk about hand made!

I guess that's how they used to do it. My dad worked for GE when I was little as an inspector of vacuum tubes. I remember there being boxes of grids and stuff around the house.

He does have a LOT of very specialized equipment though.

Hey, he had a thing going with Ginger and Maryann... why leave the island? ;)

[Possum]

mind blowing, I think he made all those instruments and machines as well. I wonder if this is just a hobby, the skills of a professional jeweler as well....

Look at all the time that goes into those tubes. Makes you understand why the NOS tubes that used to be made that way cost so much and why they don't make them like they used to.
