I stumbled across this on eBay.  I thought this might be appreciated around here.

Bill, tgo

 

Neat idea and would create a nice ambience in a small space. It also reminded me of these which are made here in the UK.

"I hear mariachi static on the radio
The tubes, they glow in the dark......."

That is so dern cool!

Let us know if you get one; wondering how close to the real thing it looks.

Also wondering how one might look on a pedalboard. 

I'm guessing that on some of those listed by the seller there might be a few trademark violations.  Thinking I might prefer one without trademarks.

Cute idea. I don't know why they would say Peavey Soldano in the ad. Any of the 12AX7 or AT7 etc should work, as I think the tube heaters draw the same power. If you use a Brit tube, they might flare up when first plugged in.

I don't think the tube is active at all, it's just an LED that lights it up.

As I remember, my devout grandmother had a Holy Cross tube-like thingy that lit up like a bulb, with the same reddish glow.

You are right! A real tube heater is at the top

those night lights are cool...the nixie tube stuff is too; one day I'll get a clock. too bad I can't spare any outlets in my place for a night light (seriously, I live in an old house that has 2 outlets per room...no way they'd have that in a new house!)
