If you want to see some REALLY big tubes - you need to check
out the old TV transmitter power tubes - which were
about 2-3 feet tall. Some of my friends from junior and
senior high school used to collect old transmitter tubes.
I still have one of the smaller tubes a friend gave me -
about 8-10 inches tall. The inside of the tube is coated
with mercury which vaporizes when the tube is operated.
It's an old "Western Electric" tube.
