It also looks like a small possible x ray tube among the "strange/cool tubes" right in the center of the photo with a black base and 4 pins coming from the bottom.

I really dig your power supply Linas, but it won't work if you crimp the wire with the insulation still on. With the supply I would probably try to find some 10AWG silver teflon wire for the primary too. It can carry a lot more power at HF and it won't melt like cat5 will.

The 707B tube is a klystron. The little copper neck part of the bottle fits inside a resonant cavity, and the tube will amplify or oscillate at the frequency of the cavity. If you can get it working and detect the RF with a Schottky diode in another cavity, you'd get major geekpoints
Hmm, an idea for a new project... Now to figure out how to do that...

I don't see any that would look like an x-ray tube... Maybe you could circle it?

Lots of nice tubes Myke.
The nixie looks like a 5870, nice tube. maybe you could make a single digit nixie clock.
The "Possibly photo multipliers" seem to be one photomultiplier and one vidicon.
There seem to be a lot of photo tubes among the "Strange/cool tubes"
There seems to be a HeNe laser among the gas filled tubes.

Thanks. Yeah, there is a HeNe laser and the photo tubes I picked up over the months from this one guy at the electronics swapmeet.

I spy a 2X2-A in the 2nd random box, not an x-ray tube but an HV rectifer. You probably have lots of other large rectifers too, and those are good for flash x-ray experiments. Or even CW x-rays.
