HUGE VACUUM TUBE COLLECTION
Переглядів 74 тис.Рік тому
This is the big project I have been working on the past month. Finally finished and here is the result! This tube collection is mostly donated by Carlton, who has been collecting tubes for many years, especially the past ten years or so. Several other people have also donated to the collection. I will maintain the collection until I am no longer able to, hopefully for another 20 years or longer.

      Tubes exactly like this were used from 1912 until about 1918 in radios of that time! Several hundred thousand of them were made over that period!

    Doesn't the getter needs to be flashed after the vaccum sealing to "convert" all remaining "air" molecules to get a "cleaner" vaccum?

    • @glasslinger
      @glasslinger 7 днів тому

      The getter itself outgasses significantly during flashing. It is best to let the pump take this extra gas out so it doesn't use up the getter. The getter will continue to absorb after the seal off.

    what voltage did you use to test it at timestamp @4:19 ?

    • @glasslinger
      @glasslinger 8 днів тому

      Normal line voltage. I have a watt meter and an electronic circuit breaker to protect the set. If the watt meter reads higher than what is stamped on the nameplate the capacitors are leaky. If there is a major overload, the electronic breaker cuts the power immediately.

      Some people honestly don't know it's considered shouting, but I suspect the person you are referring to is just obnoxious and is oblivious to using caps lock. The all caps is just another reason to ignore them.
