DIY Western Electric 417A Kit.

 A four+ year ebay hunt finally payed off when I bagged this little gem.  I first saw one down in DC at mikes place and from that moment I needed one.    According to mike, they made these at the factory and used the vacuum pump to get all of the air out.  The pics below are from some different angles so you can see all the parts.

    Hey, I'll bite! Really great piece here, Dave. I have a couple of acrylic paperweight thingies sitting around but they pale in comparison. If you happen across another...
