Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

Yeah I am sure the process could be automated and streamlined

It's much more automated in the video I linked - but there's still some hands-on work. Shit, I bet robots could do it all today. At least a goodly amount of the work could be done by robotics.

Hmm...

A modern vacuum tube manufacturing process might actually make some money. Especially if they can keep it up and provide quality.

There's not a lot of demand - but there might be enough demand for a single factory.

That first video you sent me the guy said the factory orders are on a six month back order, so there just might be enough demand

There's enough money for them to have a high-end vacuum tube company - 'cause you linked to one in the video you linked.

Well, I'm assuming there is - 'cause they were doing so. Granted, they may have gone out of business by now.

But... If you could find the old tooling used to originally make them on a mass scale AND train up the forces needed for the hands-on work (or look to robotics to eliminate that)...

Yeah, there's some money to be made - but I have no idea if it's enough to warrant all that cost to get it started.

And, robotics have come a long, long ways. We have them fitting the tiniest of components on cell phone circuit boards, for example... Ain't any humans involved in a lot of that. Robots do a fuck ton. I'm sure they'd be useful for this task.
