Bingo its a lazy mans screw driver for small electronic items.
Saves me time unscrewing and screwing.

Vacuum type valves? Like thyratrons? I'm curious........These are only dinky 47uF parts as my amplifier uses dual diode valves to rectify the AC (5AR4) and they have a first filter capacitance limit of 60uF. Using anything larger can result in arcing inside the valve. The current capacitors are rated only to 500V. If an output valve fails to draw current, the supply voltage rises to around 540V which isn't good news for those caps. The usual cheat is to put two higher capacitance capacitors in series, which halves the effective capacitance but doubles the voltage limit.
Not quite so grandiose. These simply have a hard vacuum without an inert gas. My amplifiers consist of 1 dual diode, 1 miniature pentode, 1 dual triode and 2 power pentodes. The diodes do the rectification of the mains AC, the mini pentode does the main voltage gain, the dual triode is used to differentially split the phase of the signal and provide a bit more gain and then the 2 power pentodes provide the final power output. There's a project thread on here about designing, building and testing it here.Vacuum type valves? Like thyratrons? I'm curious........
Thanks. I'll look at it there...........Not quite so grandiose. These simply have a hard vacuum without an inert gas.

Slightly annoyed, bought the new Dekoni suede memory foam version of the earpads I had before (velour memory foam) as the odl ones had started to tear on the inside. Came from the USA and today UPS rinsed me of £18.65 worth of fees!
New unit for the mancave
And doors for the bookcase next to it
Presume you had to do some modding to get the BILLY doors to fit properly? I found it was an extremely tight fit when I tried two half doors together.
No, they went on like a dream, I did have to use the full extent of the slotted fixings but was surprised at how easy and we'll they fitted
