What a dope!

That CAN'T be true; must be some audio nut that did this just for the fun of it; probably posted his link in the forums he frequents.

I think it's a great idea. You will not only get burnt, but you may learn a valuable lesson in high voltage.

I carefully removed the glass on each tube to clean both sides as all the tops had silver inside blocking view of tubes light now the tubes have no glass but may still work.

He has eight of them! Holy moly...

Who needs the glass anyway. I say run them in "free, open" air :D. Sort of like a "convertible" tube.

The question is did he test them before or after he removed the glass? Also this is what OCD gets you.........having to clean the inside glass on your tubes.

They call them Vacuum tubes for a reason.

They call them Vacuum tubes for a reason.

I think it's because you're supposed to open them up occasionally and vacuum them out, right?? :confused:

Clearly, the only remaining vacuum, is between the seller's ears.
