They keep trying to upgrade my processor.

Who needs those wimpy arse vacuum tubes. A real man works with these...

These are water-cooled PA tubes for Loran transmitters. Filament current
300A at 12.7V. Plate voltage 15,000 VDC. Output power 1.5MW.
When they went bad we hollowed them out, wired them for 120AC and made 25
lb desk lamps out of them.
Weren't those 4CX1000 tubes?
