Hi Andrew,
Yep this will be my first synth, and I have already bought some tube to start my putting together vco. I figured this stuff will be easier since I'm use to working with big tube and these are little. Just to give you an idea I'm building a tube stereo amp and the output tube is about 10 inches tall and almost 5 inches in diameter. But I do have a monster thyratron that I'm thinking about making a vco out of just for fun, it's 15 inches tall. Since as Eric from Metasonix says you can use any thyratron. The only thing is it will be a space heater as the filament pulls 29 amps.
Should be fun and impractical, which is my middle name when it comes to tube.

Hi Nick
Welcome
will this be your first synth?
maybe the hardest job is accumulating the components, but if you are
already into tubes you should have a good head start
cheers
