Do I take that these "tubes" are what we call "valves" in the UK.

If so, I have an old portable "tube" reel to reel tape recorder that is very heavy to carry around but sounds great, I also have an old "tube" radiogram which I purchased when the wonderful new "stereophonic" sound was invented!!, and it came complete with a "full frequency stereophonic sound" demo record. AAh, sweet memories.

From now on I shall call them tubes, I like that better,
