About This Item

Marconi the Travel Bug

Like the radio signals he invented, Marconi wants to bounce from place to place around the world. Marconi is a 12AU7A vacuum tube from an old ham radio. It seems fitting that after years of helping send radio signals around the world, that it get the chance to travel, personally.

Thanks to everyone who has helped Marconi along. He's tracked about 5500 miles, so far. Please help keep him moving.
