[R-390] Tube Gettering

[Les Locklear]

You could probably find a full squadron of B-29's on the Moon. I recently saw in the Enquirer that we have a secret B-29 base up there........<grin>

  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>.
