Make Your Own Tubes!!!

  Fantastic!
  The most interesting 17 min I’ve seen in a while.
  I must be really weird…I found that to be rather sensual.

  I use a different model thing-a-majigger and a small hen that lays the glass part.

  Very cool little operation. Not very rapid so I would imagine a pretty penny for those tubes. Anything that has that type of precision manufacturing and assembly will most likely blow everything else away in it’s class. (Like some hand-crafted eco-friendly electric guitars I know about) I bet they are worth every penny though. Great posting as usual-

  Steve- Thanks for the kind words..!!! I do not think that tube making is very eco-friendly however..!!! -Billy

  What a fantastic video! Beautifully filmed with perfect music. It makes me understand why we moved in the direction of solid state. Not that it is better, just way, way less labor intensive!!

  Ya gotta admire that! The span of skills is really overwhelming.

  One thing for sure– this makes pickup winding look like child’s play!

  screw the eco friendly crap,ive been over driving my el34s to get that satin smooth sound that makes my triple super lead over drive so smooth.if this guy can get even a better sound with his tubes, i dont really care what they cost,cant put a price tag on great sounding marshalls or vox ac30s
