C'mon, As a kid I used to fix vacuum tube radios and later I used to  
work in a physics lab and design and build some of my own gear but  
even in the fifties nobody made their own triodes! There was too much  
cheap exWWII stuff on the market ;^) I think it's a skill you might  
need now though...
