Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes?
I wear cloth gloves to change or to test tubes. Does anyone else do this? I see lots of bare fingers handling tubes on ebay. If I ever do touch them with bare skin, I am very quick to wipe with dry cloth after. Just wondering what the rest of the world does. Thanks
The only times I wear gloves is when it's wood (not mine....Lumber....) or the 10' pole I carry around Here. 😏 John Harvey Kellog....wade into this morass.... and there's a whole lot of it... ;) Other times...heavy, oily, caustic... I'm fond of the skin on my digits, 'cuz they allow me to 'do other things'.... @hilde45 ....more 'lubricious', right? *L* |
I think back to my first tube amp and how naive and ignorant I was. I was afraid to touch them from the halogen era as well. I quickly gained confidence and have never used gloves. I still love my halogen pendant lights in the kitchen. I have a set of 3 that I installed in my old house and when I moved, I took them with me. I never turn them off and the OEM bulbs lasted about 13 years! |
