Koool stuff BBB, but I roll my own, only thing is it's getting hard to find parts for the real old stuff, and trying to sub an newer cap for an old condenser can cause a bit of smoke, you don't want to let too much smoke out of the old stuff, it quits working.

Vacuum tubes are getting real scarce for the 30's and 20's stuff.
