Well, i get your joke...except about the cathode sleeve shorting...BUT solid state stuff fails too. Didn't you say you had a TV from 1969 that works? Old radios still work, and the like. Newer ones crap out more often, and new computers are total BS, hardware wise.But a permafilament would solve the biggest problem of vacuum tubes, which is their tendancy to burn out. There MUST be a better way. There are materials like crystals which display rectifier properties...Seriously, Vacuum tubes are essentially rectifiers, in the case of radio transmissions, aren't they? In the case of computers, they are a bit different. Each Vacuum tube is like a transistor, i think, with on/off states. |
