DIY Tube video

Bottleheads beware!

I just ran across this link to a French amateur radio operator who rolls his own vacuum tube triodes. Even blows his own glass! Awesome stuff!!

He could hand make triodes for rich audiophiles 2 at a time for exorbitant sums!

I learned a lot watching that.

Great dexterity, yes?

He's definitely a HAM radio op, I agree.

Great vid! I don't know much about tubes but it was still an interesting DIY.

It's funny how he starts the vid using swiss army knife scissors for tin-snips, but he has great tools/equipment for everything else.

today this swiss knife is a consumer standard product in europe :D

I agree again : Great vid! ;)
