Tube synth diy

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.
