For the Tube Lover that has Everything!

[MylesBAstor]

Vacuum tube chess set. Wonder if it plugs in and the tubes light up?

They are lit up and you can see the power cable on the lower left side. Darned cute!

 

[MylesBAstor]

You're right. Didn't catch it at first.

That will heat a room!

Too bad you can't actually play chess with it. I wouldn't mind having this around the house though. Except I'd have black glass vs clear!

I suspect this would eliminate the annoying habit of some players to grab a piece and stare at the board for another three minutes.

I usually find I play better using certain NOS tubes.
Is that a buyable product Myles, or a one-off piece of art?

No idea

Should swap the cheap power cord for a Shunyata;-)

As far as I could see it will cost you around usd 400. Perhaps they have a more expensive version using NOS tubes ...
