Wow! Thanks! Cool pics! I'd like to find something like that on eBay!
It sure would make a neat lamp, or tesla coil!

Hi Folks:
A guy at work bought his old guitar amp to get looked at. The
tech said he needed new tubes. (probably really doesn't). However, I
needed to bring in my 833A and said he needed 2 tubes like this!! He
was hysterical!
The tech and I got talking about BIG glass tubes. I was wondering if
anyone knows of a bigger glass tube than 833a , 852 , 861, 4-1000a etc.
Thanks!
Harry

These are pretty big. They're described as 5 feet tall. They're from
