1l after "Taps" on some stili, windless night you haH-heard the whisper of a seemingly sourceless symphony of sad, sub- human sound, maybe you forgOt to (urn off the radio or TV. And maybe you dido',. Maybe what you heard wa.s the fullmoon wail of countless dectron tubes humming and harmoniz.ing in weird frequency-responding slave-like to a ma.ster impulse that 6ngers their filamentS even a.s they lie heaped and piled in random disord. One oul 81 ev ry tJlree decLron tobe8 te88ed away i.n lhiJJ Ulan's army I 8till perkcdy CApable of doi"l! i .. job.

A lot of 82.5 cubes are discarded w en they fail to test out on a tube tester. But the ooly real reS! of a g:u·6 I1ed tube iJ when it's in the equipment under 0(>c.rati ng condicionJ!
