Gather around and witness the fruits of Tesla's lifelong work! Expeditiously, I shall be unveiling an unrealized dream of his, a masterful thermionic valve apparatus of superlative wonder and whimsy after many a sleepless night of scheming and laborious toil.
A mechanism of excessively high potential and very considerable frequency. A contraption to capture the wild possibilities of a dawning age of industrialism. A device to astound and mystify the youth, A machine to bewilder and confound the old! Fascination and fear, Stupor and surprise!
More lively than an electrotherapy session and twice as delicious as a cool radium tonic, guaranteed!
Before the grand unveiling, verification, and tuning takes place scant weeks from now with all notes, I will tantalize this kind audience with some previews.

Looks great. A lot of detail and time stuffed in a small space a very nice build.
Kinda funny I was asked to build a DRSSTC in steampunk style. Too bad the company had no idea how much they cost Otherwise this would have been a great project for me to nick some design features from.
Looking forward to see the completed device in general. Hope to see some /dev/random

A full write-up with large images is about a week or two away. I'm currently doing some final work on it. Everything is about 95% done. I'll verify it works, then post, then do tuning and get input/commentary. My subsequent projects will be actual running logs with updates. It's just that I've gotten so far on this before I realized I should start a project thread...so I'm going to finish it before posting details.
The plate cap heatsinks with axial fins I am currently using were found on ebay as a pair. I couldn't find anyone else that has them. The only commercial ones I've found are the aluminum radially finned heatsinks (by Eimac I believe) and white porcelain socket caps. I've also seen bakelite units available.
