stormdogI am a dork...
I found someone online selling a vacuum tube that zie didn't know anything about. It was big and interesting looking, so I googled it and found the datasheet. Then I wrote the seller a note with a link to the datasheet and told zir that it's a mercury-arc rectifier tube and how awesome those are to see running.
But I have no interest in buying the thing.
Any mad-scientist types out there want to rectify some high-voltage AC in a really flashy (haha) way for some project?
