My collection consists of more than 4,300 lamps and vacuum tubes. This is a wide area! In addition to well known incandescent lamps, radio tubes and cathode ray tubes, it includes, among others: arc lamps, light sources for the laboratory, transmitting tubes, camera tubes, flash lamps, microwave tubes, photocells, photomultipliers, radiation detectors, rectifiers, relays, thyratrons, vacuum gauges, X-ray tubes...

Although I also collect little radio or TV receiving tubes, I am particularly interested in odd and unusual tubes and lamps -- big glass tubes, prototypes, experimental types, and the like.

Visits are possible (max. 2 persons) by appointment. Please contact me at the address below.

I gladly respond to any request for information. Occasionally, my response may be filed in the “junk” or “spam” folder by the email system. If you have not received a response within two days, please consider checking this folder.

Donations are of course always welcome!
