Just thought I'd let the listees know that while
visiting my local parts and equipment store today (which carries a large amount of
discontinued and surplus items of all types), I noticed there was a whole aisle of
electronic vacuum tubes there. Guess it's been there for quite a while, I just
hadn't noticed it before. I looked at several of the tubes and saw that the addresses
listed on the boxes contained no ZIP codes, so I figure that a good part if not all of
these tubes are vintage items from back in the '50s or '60s. I have no idea what
prices they have on these items as most of the stuff is unmarked, but I know from buying
other items there, their prices are usually pretty reasonable. If anyone has any needs of
vintage vacuum tubes, contact me off list and I be glad to check on them for you. I saw
RCA, GE, and Sylvania there to mention a few and I believe most were for TVs and Radios,
but who knows what else I may find there. I'm not an electronics person so I
don't know what distinguishes one tube type from another. Let me know if I can
be of help to anyone out there.
