Re: Tubes and airport security

I've done it many times, you probably won't have any problems. I've had more problems with oil capacitors, which apparently look rather concerning on xray.

A few years before 9/11 I was returning from New Orleans with a 1935 Philco Radio. The security folks insisted I turned it on, and I chuckled to myself as they waited for the sound to come on. They looked very relieved when it finally began crackling after a minute or so. Fortunately the set had been recently restored.
