 and who could ever forget the Acorn tubes.  954 and 955.  Tho I think they used a lot of power and voltage.

There were 1v acorns- 957, 958 and 959.  Got a few in my collection but no equipment to use them in.  Do have a Hallicrafters
S-36 with the standard acorns, though.

I am familiar with their existance, (the 12 and 24v types) but because I have 
never seen any, nor any devices that use them, I assumed they were long, long 
gone.

Gotta come over to my shop, Willie.  Got a car radio as my in-shop monitor using some 12v space-charge tubes.  It's a radio
that would have ended in the trash otherwise.
