Got Triodes?
I love old technology, and few old technologies more than vacuum tubes (or “electron valves”, for the British types). I’ve got a couple tube radios, and am (slowly) building a pair of tube amplifiers, as well. While I don’t normally post videos on this site, I stumbled across one that has to be seen to be believed: a Frenchman manufacturing vacuum tubes - triodes, to be precise - by hand. Tube manufacture has long been something I’ve hoped to see on “How its Made”, so this was a real treat. It doesn’t have the soothing narration of a CBC production, but it’s still darn cool, let me tell you!

There are more artistic expression and a pleasure to create then technology in itself. So rare, so appreciated.
