Hi.
Michael mentioned about bringing a magnet close to the valves. Now this is really fun. Bringing a magnet close to the modulator cuts off oscillation dead, bring the magnet close to the audio preamp and the gain rises slightly then as you get closer again the valve gets cut off.
Now this makes me wonder how much use would these valves have been in an EMP or nuclear EMP, the whole idea of the Russian's using thermionic devices was for that very reason.
I wonder now if it is possible to do some electromagnetic coupling on these valves too? All very interesting and a great learning curve.
