[sdiy] DIY Electronic Components and Tubes 101

[R. D. Davis]

Seeing that there's quite a bit of opposition to SMD here, and that
there are quite a few people here who know about tubes, how about
getting a thread going for the purpose of helping people unfamiliar
with experimenting with tubes and SDIY to get started with them?

Perhaps a thread pertaining to some simple experimentation with tube
rectifiers then simple amplification and then signal modification?

Before getting to that, however, and getting back to the topic of
through-hole components becoming unobtanium, take a look at the
following web page, where someone is creating his own electronic
components---including a triode, and other interesting things as well:
