amp is the glass chimneys used around each tube and the
machined-to-match plate caps.  Of course, this appeals to me more from
the machinist standpoint but they are pretty cool.  (mmm ... hurricane
lamp chimneys and wooden braces instead?  Something to think
about.)Myron, I like the older tubes and have been looking at building
equipment around them, some audio and some RF as appropriate.  The 45
you mentioned (and its offspring) was and is a wonderful audio tube
both single and double ended, and I've used them in equippment a
number of times.  I'm not familiar with the 300B but it sounds like it
could be interesting as well.  Let's see ... the 807 was introduced in
1934 with the 1625 following shortly after ... hmmm ... this could be
fun!Best regards,Michael
