Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

That first video you sent me the guy said the factory orders are on a six month back order, so there just might be enough demand

There's enough money for them to have a high-end vacuum tube company - 'cause you linked to one in the video you linked.

Well, I'm assuming there is - 'cause they were doing so. Granted, they may have gone out of business by now.

But... If you could find the old tooling used to originally make them on a mass scale AND train up the forces needed for the hands-on work (or look to robotics to eliminate that)...

Yeah, there's some money to be made - but I have no idea if it's enough to warrant all that cost to get it started.

And, robotics have come a long, long ways. We have them fitting the tiniest of components on cell phone circuit boards, for example... Ain't any humans involved in a lot of that. Robots do a fuck ton. I'm sure they'd be useful for this task.

Yeah a robotic tube factory would be awesome!

I'm sure much of it could be automated. How much? I do not know... I'd have to look more closely and actually know what the fuck I'm talking about - which I do not at this time.

So, yeah... I'm assuming it can be automated with today's technology. It stands to reason. We make far more complex stuff with robots.

I am so far behind... I just did tomorrow's article. I do have a couple of spare articles, but those are for emergencies. This was not quite an emergency.

My year is up in about a month. I've published every other day this entire time. A lot longer if we count the first site, before I moved to the domain it is on now. Then I'd be well over a year.
