A friend of mine has one of these beasts, it is really large! He drove
all the way through Germany to pick it up, and when he opened the wooden
box it was packed in (about one cubic meter!) he realised it was in
there upside down, so the mercury was in all the arms. Luckily, none was
broken. Now the rectifier sits in a showcase that has been explicitly
designed for holding this tube. Note that is it screwed into a concrete
wall so that not even an elephant running against it could break it loose.

Oops. Could it be a scam? Still nice tube. There are miniature
versions of these rectifiers. Have the same look and are more
manageable. And extremely difficult to find.
