Two Rudolf Pressler X-Ray TubesUse
Small X-Ray tubes for static machines or induction coils. Often sold to universities.Context
Picked these up in 2003 in Prague, Žižkov 3, in a technical bazaar that specialised in scientific instruments. I remember it well, because I was living in Žižkov off of Strážní. Coming home I would take the No. 16 tramvaj and exit between Ohrada and Vápenka on the street formerly known as Koněvova, now Hartigova. (Sadly it closed years ago). I carried these any many other tubes through the airport in Prague and Zurich, Frankfurt, Miami, etc... I had been teaching English in Prague and also donated a large Tesla Coil to the NTM (Národní Technické Muzeum, National Technical Museum) in honour of Václav Havel and his anti-Communist dissident musician friends.Collection
