This is for serious tubeheads. This is not your average screensaver, with flying toasters, naked women, or colored patterns. When you load this saver, you tell anyone near your computer that you love tubes and tube amps! That you're retro, you're cool, and maybe a little bit geek (and geek is cool these days!) Hey, this screensaver even tells you it's cool, it's excellent, but only if you have a sound card.

The Tubesaver shows a different tube or tube amp every five seconds, with ever changing colored backgrounds and 110 really great dissolves and wipes. It works with Windows 3.1x and Windows 95 systems!

It's based on software from TekNovation, and it's the first saver I've seen where you can change it any way you want, or even start from scratch and make your own !

First, get the great TekNovation screen saver software (sstekdmo.exe 2575k) by clicking here.

Then, for the images and script (or the .ini file if you speak computerese), get the Tubesaver (tubesave.exe, 1800k) by clicking here. Then, be sure to get the install instructions, in either format you want-----

Click here for install.zip (2.1k) which is the zipped text file. You need PkZip to open it.

Click here for install.txt (4.9k) which is just a plain text file that will display on your browser. You can print it from there if you wish.

Get Tube DataBase ver. 3.0 here (tdb3.zip 28k). This is a handy little DOS based, self running cross-reference tool. It lists thousands of tubes, and the substitute for each. You can even add your own tubes and substitutes, or other data you can customize to meet your needs. It is zipped, so you need PKUnzip to open it. Once open, run the file called "tdb3.exe" to run the program. E-mail me if you have questions or problems with it.

If your browser does not support downloading ftp files through it, click here to go to my ftp site. Here you can download SSTEKDMO.EXE, TUBESAVE.EXE, the INSTALL file, and TDB3.ZIP.
