Fabio, I certainly hope that broken tube in the box is not the same one you are holding in the previous pic! Please say these are not "before and after!"

Don't worry, i have more than 20 Xray tubes in my collection and the giant CAT tube in the second pic is still alive.
Luckily, few months ago i found 2 medium sized CAT tubes in a local flea market for a really low sum, the first tube was used but in working order and the second was damaged, i bought the first one for a really small sum (only 10 euros!!!) and i received the broken tube for free!

Wow that's huge. How much does it weigh? Where did you get it?

I don't see any that would look like an x-ray tube... Maybe you could circle it?
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.
In the strange/cool tubes then I guess teslacoolguy was looking at a photo tube? Those are for receiving light and aren't good for x-ray production as far as I can tell...

My new toys. The cap is a CDE 2200uf 450V lytic, and the SCR, which I should have three more of around here somewhere, is C387N-- 800V 325A, 5500A 60Hz halfwave single pulse. Twas a gift from my brother, so I'm not exactly sure where he found them, but he did say he got the cap for a dollar, and the SCRs for five a piece. This is probably the nicest stuff I have as far as electronics goes.

Man, Dr. Spark, you always make my awesome stuff look like krap with your bike. Still, that thing looks freaking sweet! How many different hobbies do you have?

Never mind hobbies, how many different Harleys do you have
I can't afford to build custom motorcycles (let alone the real estate for a garage to keep them in) so I make do with mountain bikes instead. Here I am carrying my latest creation through a swamp that was too gloopy to ride.

Eh, no Harleys here, but I have been to the Harley plant and got to 'ride' on all of the floor displays. Besides, my dream is a tuned up '89 XR4Ti (as silly as that may sound). I saw a few at a show a couple of years back and fell in love with the car. But alas, the budget of a college student doesn't allow for these kinds of things.
