Old vintage noise figure meters used gas tubes. And I think there was
a pencil tube that mounted in a waveguide and made shot noise.

I've got a gaussian noise generator, some SS in the power supply, tubes
everywhere else, found it on the curb and apparently works. Uses a pair of
6D4 thyratrons in magnetic fields for the noise.
