@graemestevens 1963? I was learning about transistors at the time!
September 14th, 2016  
they don't always stand straight up! I have a 1960's transistor that looks like this!

@yrhenwr I was 7 years away from being anything at all...
@maggiemae I don't always stand straight up either ;)
September 14th, 2016  
Hmm interesting! I've never seen something like this

@zeynab1992 Thanks - it's the innards of a 1963 radio

Where the magic blue smoke comes from :)
September 14th, 2016  
Great shapes and composition!

We have come a long way Graeme, you could fit all this on a pinhead now...
September 14th, 2016  
the cobwebs give this real history, I grew up in a house with one of these if you put your eye up close to the cloth mesh that covered the speaker you could the valves glow, and I remember a bakerlite smell..Thanks for the memory...

Ah, capacitors, resisters, and vacuum tubes, the good old days. Great shot of the innards of your project. Having fun yet????
September 14th, 2016  
@joysabin I'm having both fun and frustration, but it's nearly alive...
@jack4john You're welcome - the least I can do is make you feel that little bit older ;)
@tonygig Sometimes i find that disturbing...
@shylaine3304 Thanks very much :)
@hermann Back that blue smoke again huh... ;)
September 14th, 2016  
Nice image... I like the way you captured the 'shine' of them!
September 14th, 2016  
old, beloved vacuum tubes... I still consider them the best for a ho-fi amplifier.
September 14th, 2016  
Marvelous find and capture
September 15th, 2016  
Great shapes and innards of the old radio!

You gotta do a "Young Frankenstein" tribute of sorts- just a thought.
September 15th, 2016  
@joysabin Possibly...maybe...
@radiogirl Thanks very much :)
@jgpittenger Thank you ver much :)
@domenicododaro We'll soon find out - it's not far away from bursting in to life again
@kwind Thanks very much - a torch will do that ;)
September 15th, 2016  
whereof did you find these things??? just reminded me of that time i poked around my father's workshop where he was building a radio and i dropped the newly bought shiny tube. ooops! those are awesome pieces of history.
September 15th, 2016  
@summerfield I managed to pickup a 1963 cabinet stereo that we're refurbishing...it's almost coming to life
September 15th, 2016  
It's been decades since I've seen vacuum tubes. Super capture. Are those spider webs in there?
September 16th, 2016  
@bill_fe They are indeed - I should probably give it a clean...
