Bulb Forming Machine comes to life after 40 years
Dave Ian and Pete in their element carefully and slowly nurturing the bulb forming machine back to life. This is a small bulb for ECC83 style dual triodes.
Though not yet the correct shape, considering this machine hasn't run for over 40 years, things are looking very good.
A big thank you goes to our Great British Valve Project volunteers Dave & Ian along with Pete our glass worker and all those that cleaned this machine from its original condition of glass, rust and oil. We have had to provide new electrics, update the gas system, reset the burners and make it work with unleaded glass! We hope to have this brilliant piece of kit up an running fully soon.
