[V8] hot glass... NAC...

What a huge amount of equipment and skill it takes to make a triode -  
and I know they went up to at least pentodes - and probably more.
I know people who still run old tube guitar amps and audio  
amplifiers. They swear by the sound but tubes are hard to come by. I  
guess now the Russians make some good ones.

I still have an old Tektronix Oscilloscope made in the late 60s that  
is a work of art inside. It even works.
