Tubular

In reference to a 108 year old and its birthday yesterday...


There is this guy, still rolling his own vacuum tubes. 




 I think I saw this video years ago on RobertaX's site. 


I'm adding one plus two here and thinking...  Make Nixie tubes in my basment, turn them into steampunky clocks, sell them to Gen Y hipsters for a mint, use the proceeds to buy ammo and canned goods.  BRILLIANT!

You can make your own comms gear with the tubes too, and worry less about EMP.
