[ARC5] Somebody is Still Building 832's?

[Bob Groh]

Well, ignoring the totally bogus claims, having an 832 'anything' sure as
heck looks cool.  I've got the 832's in my stash and having some form of
'art' using them would be so neat. Not even sure I would power it up - I
have always wanted to try a few LED's hidden close to the base and shining
up into the bulb. Put that on a nice walnut base with a sexy variable cap
and dial - now there is some serious fun!  And, yes, I am being serious
here!
