Get a capsule-shaped light bulb, paint the top silver, and epoxy it on
a convenient flat part of your motherboard.

Nah, not the same for those of us who still remember the warm glow
and appearance of a real tube.

So get a tube socket, glue it somewhere appropriate, and wire it to one
of the spare drive connectors so you can energize the heater.

Hey, I wonder if someone engineered a surface-mount tube socket
specifically for this application.

Add a red LED.

The Aopen one has been around for a long time - at least a year. There
should be a bunch of reviews on it. It does have a certain uniqueness about
it. It kind of reminds me of an old, likely early 1970's Electrohome TV my
parents owned - it had Toobz, transistors and IC's.

Trust me, you haven't seen anything until you've looked at this guy in the
dark. It's better than a wood fire with a warm cup of cocoa.

I bet those more intricate projects, tube clocks and computers for example,
are utterly amazing to look at.

Maybe so.

I keep finding myself thinking those tube amps with accessible valves must
surely fail the safety regs ! Pull a tube out and poke around and you could get
a nasty shock.

Not to mention temperature. Nothing touchable should be more than 40C above
ambient.

Mom may complain about the solder in the carpet...
But if you use the coil for this:

UN will convene.

Holy Crap!!!! =8-O

That's BOMB stuff!!!!!!!!!

I suppose they publish it so that nobody gets nailed for leaking it when
Al Q start making their own bombs. ;-) Once you get the pluto, the rest is
almost trivial, albeit if you build the bomb the trivially easy way, your
life expectancy decreases dramatically. ;-P

Cheers!
