If we ran our tubes at absolute zero the gases would all just condense out
and we could draw them off with a sippy straw.
I think that for the immediate future (10-15 years) we can all make do with
the supplies that we have all squirreled away, waiting for the big EMP event
so we can be the only ones listening to static.
It was surprisingly easy to (re) collect almost 200 tubes. I even have an
old Easter basket sitting under the coffee table filled with 1625's and 1626
tubes. All I am waiting on now is a spare B-29 to land in my yard and I can
bring the radios back to pristine condition. <g>.
