Swapping a tube out looks like much more work than just building from scratch. I can see how this one worked out, but how do you take out and replace a TT or DT without taking the HT right off? And how do you get two whole joints hot enough all at once, and pull the joints apart while the brass is all melted without needing eight pairs of asbestos hands? It's like a whole different league of skill.
Bravo for the perseverance though!
