Here is a second view of an old project of mine. I made it in 4 hours using basic tools while in high school. That is a busted, Russian made 9ax7 tube if I remember correctly. I was on a big steam punk kick for a while, I will post other stuff later if people are interested.

Everything is brass and glass in this. I think I was even using silver based solder at this point. I really disliked (and still do) the "lets hot glue gears to this shit" approach to steam punk. This was the only thing I did with gears ever.
