Re: {Collins} Slight Off topic but very vintage related

Well, i checked on ebay and found MANY for about $4 each, pack of 3,  plus $4 shipping.

These are very reasonable prices

Me thinks you are looking for a almost “gimme”.   I may be wrong but $ 4 bucks???


There is nothing that warms the heart so, as gazing at your dog, who is sleeping on the couch, mentioning his name, and hearing thud-thud-thud as his tail hits the cushions.

it is  even worse  if  you need VT-4-C triodes (type 211E) along with a single VT-25 (10Y) triode tubes   for  surplus  gear  the AUDIO A.H 's  and  probably those that  just speculate on tube  prices  have driven them  though the  roof...   guess  we  will have to  find  some  dead  ones  so at  east the gear LOOKS   complete in museum displays here.  Alas  our  poor  tubless  BC-375.....(sigh)
but  on  ebay  your  tubes  you need  are  not too bad

and   some   cheaper   even  or   4   for the at  price.....  if  you  can  find  a  vendor there  you  can  forge  trust  with    there seem to be  a quantity,,,
some of the direct  tube  companies   have   highly inflated  prices....
now  if  only I  could  find   the old  tubes we needed this  reasonable....

I know a 12B4A is not in many Collins rigs but anyone have a 12B4A torelease for something less than the nations GNP? The merchants [eBay,amazon, retailers]  are all nuts. I cant in good conscience put out for a2.5" tube that has shipping equal or higher than its cost. I have spent 17hours resuscitating [vacuum, clean, simpleGreen, lube, deoxit5, lil testing]an HP606A HF Signal Generator, back to near perfect mechanical/cosmeticoperation, and before I hit it with power I have this 1 cracked tube.
I just dumped 3 digits to the left side of the decimal point to breathe newlife with a heart transplant into a Drake L4B. Guess what that was for?
Help me get this relic back in operation. Only other alternative is to scrapit and continue with the Collins, Drake, Heath gear on life support.
Aint got a bottomless pit, so Gotta draw a line somewhere with a fewsacrifices and not knowing what else [electronically] the HP might need.
NOT LOOKING for free...Just Reasonable.


AND no I don't fix and sell. Never will.  I just give [selective] old gear anew home for ever!
