This site is dedicated to Electron Tubes of all kinds.
Here you will find information about the construction of tubes and what some of them were used for. My main interest is special tubes. You will not find any large amount of data about audio applications. You will however find some illustrated examples as well as other useful information about these nice warm old things.
