Designing...

Joachim sees it like this

Or since these things are so absolutely enormous...
Just put some feet under it

Then you get 2 of these bedside tables....
Which weigh about 50Kg each.
Probably more, come to think of it....
made some curves..
.
nothing on the net on the RS607.

I finished measuring when my Ra exploded....
It got so hot that the solder connection melted...
then one of the 2 1K2 25W undid itself so the other one got a bit of a shock...
and got very hot
and just exploded
spectacularly!

RS607 or Tubezilla

Look at this!!!!
This is BIG
Godzilla under the tubes.
A triode.
Made by Telefunken.
Thanks Peter!!
This needs to be an AMP


Made some copper little connectors...
About a kilo of them.
Copper soldiers

Switch it on.
This is not a light affair...
One tube needs 16.5V at 15Amps.
Thats a quarter of a kW
Found 3 5V 15A transformers.
All in series.
There a preheater in the form of a 100W halogen bulb.

ON!


Beautiful!!

Hot!

And yes, you can save on other lighning features.
