Actually, not to drive this side discussion into the ground, but I
actually have restrung a few receiver tuning assemblies by hand, years
ago. Not for the faint of heart.

You're right, my nixie-tube-readout meter definitely has active
circuitry, but it's actually "modern" solid state...no other tubes
aside from the nixies.

Thanks for reminding me how old I am!!!

Cheers...


your welcome

i forgot to add: back when capacitors looked like dominoes with colored
dots... and were just as often called condensers.
