[Boatanchors] Facebook

Too late John- they're already out there in some on-line auction 
sites.
To add insult to injury, they sometimes don't bother with the filament 
but put coloured LEDs in behind the tube to add to the 'effect'!!
I console myself by thinking that they probably have no idea how to 
light up the filament anyway........

Hey what about my plan for the "Pet Tube"? Useless tube glued to a 
plastic box,
filament powered by a wall-wart, Get audio guys to buy them for $29.95 
or
$49.95 for the Amperex Bugel Boy version that "Glow Better". Or is 
that plan
going to die before it starts?
