Gread video, especially the interior of the monster (and the reflection of each of your faces in the meter lenses). Also so much RCA which no longer exists (or only as a pretend brand) started because of the sinking of the Titanic - David Sarnoff working for Marconi company at the key in NYC for several days, or so he told his myth). When we were little kids we were gifted a few stock shares of RCA and felt like serious business people (age 3 or 5). I loved the ending "3's, enjoyed the QSL."  (3's is short for 73's, see http://www2.hawaii.edu/~rtoyama/73flash.html ) QSL means "acknowledge receipt" or just "contact" (as well as the name of a magazine and of postcards, see http://forums.qrz.com/index.php?threads/getting-back-into-the-hobby-whats-the-deal-with-qsl-cards-now.555400/ ).

I just wanted to try using what was already in the office (Leister). If there was no Leister there would be no project. Today it looks like this 1. An old stand for the system unit 2. Leister Mistral 6 Premium 230v/3400 - https://www.jhmbuttco.com/leister-mistral-6-premium-230v-3400w.html 3. Turret. Built to the dimensions of the glass. Glass from a gas or petrol lamp. Do not remember the model.  Glass is thin. For a large volume is not suitable. 4. Now the blower such. See photo. The main criterion of reliability and the prospect of further use. 5. Blower control 10000 W AC to 220 6. Collector in the image and likeness as Yours. Very convenient for beginners. Good to hear the beans crackling. When you connect the cyclone is hard to hear.
