Welcome

Beam Station is an online Virtual Museum for

Valves, Tubes, Incandescent Bulbs and similar

items.

Connecting History to technology

Beam Station is a result of the desire to display the technology but equally to try and illustrate historical facts and connections with that object, just like a real museum. That said, there are many objects in this collection for which the history is as yet undiscovered or just not very interesting. Within this site, links may be found to data sheets, reference documents, links to other sites, other collections and blogs in the attempt to offer a more complete information pack to visitors, whether for reference or as a passing interest. It is hoped that you will enjoy the information available here, and, indeed, you are most welcome to contribute to the collection with information, data sheets or even devices. Please note that Beam Station is a private site and has no commercial activity. Generally speaking, objects displayed or referenced on this site are not for sale and are not traded. If you have devices that you would like to donate or are interested in selling, by all means contact Beam Station using the Email button. Please see our Contact page for further information. The owners of Beam Station and its collection are not commercial traders or represent a trading business and is a solely private UK based collection.

The Collection

Comprised of many objects, spanning over 90 years and covering the birth of radio, international communications, early RADAR, industrial and scientific thermionic devices. The Collection encompasses the social revolution created by the introduction of radio and the expanse of communications worldwide thereafter. Devices that shaped, aided and shortened a World War and contributed to the technology within the Cold War.  Even the more mundane, industrial objects that have shaped society and modern technology continue to be represented here at beamstation.
