I ran across a small box of vacuum tubes left over from my service shop twenty-five years ago. Several are new in the box. I often got stuck with tv tubes that I bought that didn’t fix the problem. I’d put them in inventory and use in a different tv that came in. I always gave the customer any bad tubes that I replaced.
I sold my tube tester decades ago. Someone with an Ebay account could sell these. Vintage, working tubes are sought after. But, you’d need to test them first. Maybe a Radio Shack somewhere still has a tube tester? They used to be in every Radio Shack. Or someone might still buy them (cheaper) untested. Vintage tubes can be a bitch to find when you need one. I repaired my dad’s Hallicrafter multiband radio and had to buy tubes and fresh capacitors a couple years ago.
If you want them, PM me or post here. I’ll get you’re address and send them.
Google any tube name and you’ll get the type and pin out. I’d suggest checking the filaments with a multimeter before selling them to anyone. Unless you’re lucky enough to still have a tube tester.
this is the 11ms8
OK, thanks. I’ll pass, though. My wife thinks I already have quite enough spare electronic parts lying around (as if such a thing were possible.) :rolleyes:
