[Leica] Real Radios Glow In The Dark

[Peter Klein]

Demonization and polarization, not so good.  But it's how things are 
these days.  His world views aside, I have some affinity for his 
attitude about vacuum tubes ("valves" for any British Commonwealth 
folks). I first learned electronics and amateur radio messing with old 
tube equipment, which was plentiful and often reasonably priced in the 
1960s and 70s. That background helped immensely when I switched careers 
in the 80s.

Everything is based on "squintegrated" circuits and near-microscopic 
surface mount components now. But the basic principles are still the 
same. And tubes did have a comforting glow. Plus, they helped keep one 
warm in the winter.
