Some of the first new work in about a year.  I finished this last Fall, but never got around to having it scanned until recently.  This is part of the continuing vacuum tube project I started about 2 years ago or so.  You can see more on the still life gallery page.

The 3B28 is a xenon filled half wave rectifier.  The xenon offers distinct advantages over other gas tubes such as mercury vapor tubes, which makes the 3B28 better suited for radio and audio applications.  Plus they're big, and look cool.  Sort of like a barrel in a bottle.
