I have been wanting to bicycle and type for quite some time.<br />I hope to combine one of my favorite trails and typing in a few weeks.<br /><br />@Ton and Scott. I may post some 4-400A and 833A tubes made into night lights. Those are some of the most popular among the folks that make night lights and lamps from old transmitter tubes.

I have a feeling that if I ever stumble across a morse typewriter, it would really be at home with your gear. <br /><br />Love the look. Those old tubes are really something, aren't they? They have a really beautiful look and feel about them. In a lot of ways, it is a reminder of the artistry that used to be in design, that is becoming increasingly removed in the digital era.
