Remarkable find !

My father and i actually BUILT one of these

Heath-Kits, nearly half-a-Century ago ! ! !

When i first saw it operate, i was just Amazed !

Wow -- that is truly Miracle Technology !

:-)

Still often think about it, even though it is now Long-Gone.

Thank you for sharing it with us.

Brings back so many happy memories !

it's seeing eye, my bad,

[TheeAldeen]

lololololol

[TheeAldeen]

The All Seeing Eye Toob, that's it's True Name.. And its Rack'ed, Bitches

[TheKisho]

@TheeAldeen It has many names, including Tuning eye (which I think was the first name. Who made the first one of these tubes? We can always check out the datasheet for it's original name). "Seeing Eye" tube is a common nickname I cannot say I've seen on a datasheet. hehe And I see what you did there. :D Rack'ed? Cannot say I've seen a racked tube Viking/RCA radio.

HAHAHAHA!!!



[TheeAldeen]

Its a Seeing Eye tube, i have them in my old '54 Viking/RCA Pres

[TheKisho]

@TheeAldeen Yep, I've heard them called as such as well. Floor standing or table top?

Autor is idiot...

[Steppenwulf79]

@Gangster88232

don't know why..

[Gangster88232]

@Steppenwulf79 Because it's LC meter (Bridge), and he made with this so fucking idiots jokes...

[bonecrime]

This video always make me smile! :D

[TheRoknemec]

its a magic eye... its kinda funny when you see what people think what that is...

[TheKisho]

@TheRoknemec Yep your correct. You really need an imagination when you have a Heathkit Capaci-Tester CT-1. It looks nice but it's not all that useful. That said I got it for cheap I can't complain, it's a nice show piece. But other then telling me it's a working capacitor (being tested), it's not at all useful (doesn't tell you if it's still a working capacitor still in tolerance of it's rating).

[TheRoknemec]

@TheKisho You should use this magic eye in a radio project. The magic eye was invented for one purpose: it signals the strenght of a radio signal (station). Be creative!!

Cheers, Rok

[TheKisho]

@TheRoknemec But then my Heathkit would be less then a cyclops... Bind! har har. Besides the old Heathkits look so nice. Man I'd love to find a cheap local Heathkit or similar looking oscilloscope. Maybe if I pick another one (magic eye) up I'll add it to the old tube (RCA AM) radio I have. I'm sure I can work in when I design a new case.
