Tearing Down A 6L6GC

[Fretts]

There's been many times I have busted open a tube, but I never photographed the process.
This time, I got really mad at one tube in particular, and decided to make a pictorial out of it. My knowledge of tubes may not be encylopedic, and you may not learn anything new, but you might find this entertaining anyway:

Brought a smile to my face... I did that to a cracked 12AX7 when I was a kid with way better eyesight than I have now.

Never taught tubes stories could be this funny.....
