hand making vacuum tubes Part 1

-------------------------
*UPDATE*

Hello people! Someone has informed me that this man's name is Claude Paillard. They also told me that he is a French amateur radio operator and he has a website! The address to his website is:

http://paillard.claude.free.fr/

I hope this answers many of your questions! I am so glad to know this information myself!

*UPDATE*

------------------------------
Original Description follows:

Hey guys I found this video and I thought it would be nice to have it on youtube because I can't seem to find it here. I'm not trying to make anyone angry so if you are the owner and want it down I will willfully comply.

This guy makes tubes by hand! Triodes to be exact. Awesome video. Tube amplifier fans will enjoy it.

Original video was called "Fabrication d'une lampe triode" and was found on Daily Motion.

Update November 23, 2008: We have discovered the title of the song featured in this video, it is called "The Man I Love" and was created by the Gershwin Brothers (Written for a female singer). Enjoy

This beautiful art brings tears to my eyes. I prefer these valves more than gold. Whoever made these, please continue the art.

This 2-part video brought tears to my eyes...it was a beautiful demonstration of building a tube from scratch. Being from the 20th century and having worked with tubes make this outstanding. I would like to have him for a Mentor.

My grandfather did this back in WW2 in his radio repair shop, sadly though I never got to see him do before he passed away. All the other repair shops in town never knew how my grandfather had so many tubes in stock when they would run out and had to wait due to rationing.

@w0mblemania Looks like an annealing oven.

[w0mblemania]

What is that device @5:13? Some kind of autoclave? (Didn't seem very sealed though.)

[SigEpBlue]

@Lea71777 Absolutely! Such brilliance, well-made, and I'm so glad to see it's not a completely lost art!

@Sergi762

they are still using tubes from world war two and before that some vintage tubes routinely sell for hundreds and even a couple of thousand each but a lot are in the 10 to 40 dollar range some used tv tubes are as cheap as 2 to 4 dollars
