When DIY Gets Sexxxy (SFW)

From RADIO CRAFT 9/1948: plans and schematics to build a vacuum-tube powered KISS METER. In the post-war period of frenetic coupling and reproduction (via Baby Booms), new technology like this was required to ensure optimum conditions of repopulation. Apparently. Download a 3-page PDF here:

We see here the 6J5, long considered to be the most romantic tube. When two 6J5s love each other very, very much they can combine and create a 6SN7! HANDS-DOWN WORST JOKE EVER.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Schematic below.

I laughed out loud at the 6SN7 joke. Ooof.

What we have here is one of several such similar projects, the most famous of which now is the Mathison Electropsychometer. It was the progenitor of the E-Meter used in Scientology (TM). Last I checked, the current model sold by the Church of Scientology was about $7,000. It does nothing that a Simpson 260 can't.
