This great little video has really increased my respect for the 'tube' - I gotta get some tubes into my life!

You're late,

I already posted this five pages back. "Making a Kron tube"

Enjoyed it, no matter who posted first. Didn't see first post.
No wonder the things cost so *#)$)*( much.

Wish I could afford even 1 of those tubes. I guess we can say thats not a tube FACTORY?

Cheers,

Nice video, thanks! I've seen those tubes in person, they are quite impressive.

That's a lousy promotional video for some crappy "hand made Audiophile" tubes.

If you want a video on how vacuum tubes are made, you can do better.

for example:
Mullard - The Blackburn Vacuum Tubes Factory (Full) - YouTube
or http://paillard.claude.free.fr/

I wish there were better videos, I'm sure they were made. They're probably lying in film cans in an archive somewhere.

What's your beef with KR? You complained the last time that video was posted.

yajnaS · 04:22 AM

I did ? I don't remember

found it (the previous post). Nothing personal against KR, I just find the video annoying.
Some part of that video is just bad. e.g. their description of the getter flashing process.

Just a bit of trivia..

I never thought before where the Mullard name came from..

manufacturer mullard description
