Obviously a fake. Nobody's real workbench could possibly be this neat.
Seriously, though, this is nifty work.
Seeing those 2E22 bottles threw me back to my salad days working with WWII surplus gear. I love the glow of filaments.

Correct on both counts Kent.
That workbench is usually awash in detritus, but I finished the amp last week--well these things are never really finished are they?--and cleaned it the next day. Entropy, having been set back for only an iota, will reassert itself shortly.
The 2E22 was indeed a WWII tube, found mostly in 'portable' radio transmitters. It is a direct-heated pentode and it sounds great in audio applications.
Happy listening,
John
