We are very much still in the Epoch of Vacuum Tube Radar. Witness the mighty 
FPS-67 at former Benton AFS, Red Rock Mountain, PA, among other sites.

This dual channel L-Band 5 Mw objet d'art is said to freeze men of action in 
their tracks as women swoon. Benton's '67 splashes the old FPS-35 hall with 
pulsing stentorian rhythms. Pulsing ignitrons and thyratrons bathe expansive 
glassed double racks in mysterious violet and soothing amber hues. 

Benton's earlier FPS-35, with its cross-field Amplitrons, was never beaten, 
never jammed.

These farsighted RF spyglasses, as with R-390 family receivers and B-52's, 
were designed to run indefinetly. Cold War's foreboding morgue slab skies could 
erupt at any time with commie intruders. Planned obsolescence? Service Life? 
Forbidden luxury.

These tetrode shaped diamonds shall serve us for years.

Fun site: www.radomes.org/museum/   SAGE, NIKE, LASHUP, everything radar is on
this site or directly linked to it. Invaluable radioman's companion, given 
inextricable linkage twixt radio and radar.
