    Welcome to the element14 community.  There are a lot of us here that are vintage engineers, some even understand tubes and other technologies!  You should fit in nicely.

    Vintage Engineers, I like the term. How do you determine what vintage. Do you cut off a leg and count the rings? Or sorry that is for trees and they don't seem to grow after.

    I would have thought that "tubes and other technologies" might have been a key to how I determine vintage, but still "Do you cut off a leg and count the rings" made me laugh!
