I'll never look at a tube the same again.

I wasn't going to admit it, but I did too. Unbelievable.

No I only watched half of it but I'll watch the rest later. I started to squirm seeing all those battery chickens going for it. Thank God I went to tech for 6 years and became a plumber, I'd rather work with human S.H.I.T than make tubes.
FET is more humane, i'll never buy another tube product again, where's Green Peace when you need them.
Makes you wonder who won WWII.
No wonder the POMs are into booze.
Now I know why the POMs whinge so much.......tubes mate, tubes
Gee no wonder they got onto boats and came over here.
That Churchill has got a lot to answer to.
R Neve is the unsung hero of post war tube depression for all the Brits.........he set them free without parting a sea.

I worked at the Coke factory first year out of school. Sat by a window in the tunnel and picked up any bottles that fell after they came out of the washer. Some of the machines there had great rythm...
That video was excellent, thanks for posting. Bit like some sort of H.G Wells movie. Amazing how many levels of quality control they had.
I wonder what the mic/pre/eq chain was for the voice over? ;) (check the old skool smilie)

I worked at a factory that made the flavours that go in yogurt. The machine that mixed the ingredients together is to this day the most one of the most impressive beat and rhythm machine I have ever heard. That was the last job I had before getting into sound. That video just reminded me how much I like those sound and hated everything else about that job.

the vinyl pressing factory at festival looked at like that tube factory
at festival if it got to 50 degrees on the pressing floor in summer the workers were allowed to to have a beer !
the poor blighters used to hope it hit 50 because 49 degrees was a thankless task !

Should have sampled those factory machines.
My best worst factory job was the wing lee dim sim factory. Only lasted a week.
A far better job but heavy work was my summer uni holls job loading crates of tarax bottles on to the trucks with two muso mates, Garry Newman who later became manager of Rose music ( the then yamaha distributers) and his brother Steve who became part owner of Fretted Instruments here in Melb.

Pure Techno-porn, Gotta get some of the ECC83 equivs to try . And better still KT66 output bottles next year!!! 50 year old NOS GEC KT 66s are going for over 100 Euro each lately. But nothing sounds better in a Quad II. Hope the New ones live up to expectations
