(note the Microbus in the background -- how's that for synchronicity?)
My father had a '66 Econoline work truck for on the order of three decades.
Very cool - if slightly terrifying - vehicles.
In the early-mid 70's I made hundreds of deliveries in a '66 Ford Econoline Van (light blue as shown)
had no side windows only rear windows. Straight six engine. I honestly can't remember now if it was an
automatic or three-on-the-tree.
It was definitely an experience driving one of these fully loaded (the van, not the driver)! Making turns it always felt like it was ready to tip over. Had well over 150K on it in miles, just kept adding oil rather than changing it. It served it's purpose for the small company store that used it. -
ours was 3 on the tree.
I did drive it a few times. I thought it was lots of fun to drive.
I was used to unstable vehicles, since my first 4-wheeled love was a Bronco

oh, meanwhile, back on topic (sort of)...
this cracked me up, big time.

Based on its expression, I'd feel the same way as Mr. Sofa.

No Affil.
What is this? Klystron Repellor? Sounds like Sci-Fi.
-
A klystron is a radar (microwave) tube, kind of similar to the magnetron used in your microwave oven.
Indeed, I had to look up the difference. A magnetron is tuneable, and is used only as an oscillator. Klystrons can be used as oscillators or as amplifiers (at tens of GHz, i.e., microwave, frequencies).
Y'all did know your microwave ovens use tubes, right?
PS Looks like that P/S might be missing a meter(??).

Klystrons were tunable. They used them in the big tacan units at air bases.
Tuning involved using a wrench. It was made of metal and had two sections
That had three bolts around the circumstance. We tuned it using a wrench.
Think of it as a really big high power tube.

... for very high frequencies, too.
Thanks for the clarification -- I am pretty microwave ignorant (which is actually a bit ironic, as Mrs. H's dad was a radar pioneer in WWII).

If you want to build a DIY close range ship navigation for your Lowes Jon boat, get yourself a klystron, some waveguide, and some schematics for an SPS10 radar (USNAV). 📡 👍Sal Palooza

Go for the all vacuum tube radar -- way warmer ambience.
