I remember watching photographs in some old magazine of a Russian vacuum tube factory, people there were dressed like surgeons, not as housewifes in this case :)

The last tube is a speacial tube 211/845/805 Best sounding tubes ever

[florickwar2]

@flagshipaudio nope the last one their assembling is a 813.

Those power tubes are massive! Interesting that there are so many women working there.

@LeviMan2001 It was WW2!

[peugteobike]

This is interesting

[listenact]

Unreal. A lost time. Thank you for this.

The manual dexterity of those workers is amazing, especially when they're putting the grids together. I guess that's why some of this stuff still works today.

[antienjigglement]

it would suck.

[K7AGE]

What would life be without the vacuum tube?

[TheKisho]

What year was this made? The tubes looks like the later ones (the ones that aren't metal). Haha I always love these old video segments. They are usually informational with a bit of entertainment at the end. :D

I updated the info block to include the 1942 date. You can verify that with Google.

Awesome! Thanks for uploading this!

You're welcome. I've had the tape for 10 years. It was patiently waiting for YouTube to exist.
