Magic eye tubes were used in radios as tuning signal strength indicators, and also as high impedance null indicators in valve bridge measuring equipment. There were some interesting valve types in days of yore :banana |

It's almost finished but there is a fault somewhere in the boost converter circuit... still trying to get my hands on a frequency counter for diagnostics :lol: |
