I have zillions of old tubes pulled from radios
and TVs by a guy whose estate was sold-- except
for the tubes. Nobody wanted them.
I'm looking for a simple project I can build
(like a stereo amp) but without the tight
tolerances and high-end ultra-purist attitude I
seem to find whenever I look into it. I just want
to build something that will perform a basic
function and look cool glowing in the dark.
I also have grand-dad's old Heathkit tube tester,
so I have that going for me anyhow.
I've built kits before, but I'm not necessarily
looking for a kit. A decent set of plans with
some suggestions for physical layout and
mounting, for guys like me who came of age in the 555 timer / 74xx TTL age.

Nice. I have a few old 12V tubes (NOS from a science lab that was
decomissioned a few years back that had some parts going back to the
mid-1950s - ancient carbon composite resistors and all). I'm looking
at that 12V battery-powered headphone amp project as an easy
get-started project. I think I have everything on hand except the
tube socket.
