Something similar as the nixies displays:

I have 4 that I had to replace in a 100W tube amp that had lost its bias voltage so they red plated but they will be a bit expensive to post to you.
I think shipping it would be more than a bit expensive.
Hi Manfred,
Take into account that a valve (even if don't pass a functional test) still have vacuum into their glass envelope.
Thanks for the hints i will follow your instructions.Take into account that a valve (even if don't pass a functional test) still have vacuum into their glass envelope.
Perhaps the first action will be remove the adhesive using acetone or similar solvent, unsold each pin wire, and carefully cut the glass spigot that are hidden at the center of the socket.
When the vaccum were removed this way the operation to cut the contour of the tube will be attempted, I think...
Apologize for quote myself...
You could do a whole plug-and-play board like this. Unfortunately you've really only got enough pins left for one pot, so you'd want to design circuits based around a common pot value.modman wrote: ↑17 Jun 2022, 10:27 Build circuit point to point in 3D as to fit a vacuum tube
Make sure all external connections (in, out, pots) are on one side
Make a mold using an EL34
Suspend circuit inside mold and pour clear epoxy resin
Mount epoxied circuit to tube base, connections soldered to tube pins.
Get Hammond box, mount tube base inside
Connect in and out jacks etc to the proper tube base pins
Now you can plug in any circuit like it's a tube...
Completely unnecessary, but probably a hit...
Your suggestion almost meets the way I intend to implement, only I do not want to pour the interior.modman wrote: ↑17 Jun 2022, 10:27 Build circuit point to point in 3D as to fit a vacuum tube

Sorry there friend, but not quite accurate. I can't speak for Josh but as far as Wampler is concerned some things are derivatives and some are not. All of this is driven by the market, and sometimes just by what I think is fun to play through. However, I've always been very clear about this.bmxguitarsbmx wrote: ↑07 Jun 2022, 15:23 I think its cool. It's cooler than JHS or Wampler copying everything, including DIY projects and products of smaller builders for their entire careers.
I'd have to agree on many levels - it's one of the reason I love Reeve's stuff so much - the inside is a work of art.bmxguitarsbmx wrote: ↑19 Jun 2022, 21:42 It's just my opinion that a meticulous wiring of a circuit that's not new is cooler than a mass produced version of something not new.
