Amazing, and a bit quaint.
Of course, there's a reason why most of these aren't used anymore and even valves are used in very specific applications (or let's say, not all of them exactly for pure engineering reasons)
Semiconductors blow all of these out of the water. And as technology for higher power/higher frequency gets better they will be replaced more and more by semiconductors.
