@aaronpk I dare say as viewing devices, maybe obsolete. But as a technology, less so. Tubes are still manufactured and used for things like x-ray machines and nuclear weapon triggers.
@aaronpk And lest we forget, the ever loving photomultiplier tube, PMT, still state of the art in Big Science circles. If you need to detect things or count them, use a PMT.
