Making good progress on a vacuum tube bass synthesizer. Got the four neon diode oscillators done and tuned up together.

Plus it glows in the dark. : }

NAT was a stop gap measure for the limits of IPv4.

In the perfect utopian world every device would have it's own IP address and the security happens on the gateway router before reaching that device.

In the real world, 95% of business network I see are running IPv4 internally behind a NAT with a single IPv4 external address and using the NAT as a type of port->device firewall. *lol*

So I've been building a 100% analog polyphonic synthesizer with an unique twist. To use only vacuum tube era technology from the 1930s.

Over 300 neon gas diodes create the sound you hear. Pretty awesome for technology from 100 years ago.

Still a work-in-progress, but I wanted to post a video of it with the innards spread out across the workbench. : }

I call it the "Neon String Machine"
