Description
Victoria dug out my earliest memories of electronic hardware and let the ambiguity of a college laboratory play over them. If you want to see the thing put together go to the USAF Museum and take the bus to teh VIP hangar. Then enter the "Sacred Cow", Eisenhower's airplane, and move to just behind the cockpit, the radio rack. Try to read the engraved plaques and choose the power supply. Here she has a double diode with the pigtail on top, a double rectifier, a triode for voltage regulation, a step up transformer and a ceramic capacitor on a copper chassis with one tube socket in place. I was going to make a nice oak table to set it on but she said it was just fine on the floor where I began. The first significant change to this architecture came in the 70's when I bought a Muntz 8-track stereo for my truck. The Zenith stereo I bought in 1965 and the power supply for the radio in my 1966 chevelle SS-396 were still vacuum tubes.

A very basic render.
I actually seen a tv put out for thrash yesterday that has tubes.I tinkered with radios as a kid and managed to convert an am to shortwave,and it worked very well.I was able to be confused in many languages
Great and creative composition!
You got Vicky tinkering now lol!! Awesome work!!
Great work very creative......!!!!
Great image Dale!! Jay
Nice work!
Seems hot...:))
I remember those 8 tracks. I think they had a cartridge before the invention of the cassette. Never knew Vicky was into electronics :-). Great render!
I had a Muntz dual cassette recorder with built in equalizer, not sure if it had tubes though, but that was ages ago. Vicki looks very interested in this stuff, cool render!!
super work here
