Tonight from the depths of the "Thermionic Realm" we received an 866 Rectifier tube from H. G. Fischer's SW Diathermy series!

A wonderful donation to the museum.




So we fired up of Diathermy to light some tubes...


Frank sent this electrodeless Uranium Glass tube.





I wound a coil with sheet rock mesh tape to see if it would work...


Run out, and had to use some paper...


Looks like it works fine!
