I think it works like this--you take a 12AX7, and, using a diamond file,
carefully cut the tip off. Fill it with a good polyester resin and glue
the tip back on. Absolutely solid! Put that in your Eico!
Anyone remember the April Fool's joke article in (IIRC) 73 many years ago
that advocated filling vacuum tubes with brine to improve conductivity?
