Heres a more refined one - with actual sound example (https://youtu.be/4hWIbje5tu4) : Didnt really need the cheesy drum machine in the mix.

The circuitry is specialized & accurate and you can actually buy it for under 2 large $USD. This is one I would like in my collection.

the original Theremin was an all tube synth.

It would have to be cuz they didn't have solid state in the roaring 20's. The Volca Nubass is probably the most modern consumer oriented Valve synth - it claims 'first analog synth to be equipped with a Nutube new-generation vacuum tube in its oscillator circuit' . Well, I never heard of a Nutube tube so doesn't seem like a world breaking claim to me.

I like this stuff http://metasonix.com/ particularly because the designer uses some rather atypical tubes in these devices.

Also, you have to know about it to ask to buy one, but they also have the rudest weirdest guitar amp ever.
Here's the hilarious manual:
