Speaking of ham radio fests...

I went to a local one yesterday and there was a guy selling NOS JAN tubes, never used, mostly radio stuff, most dated 1963/64 and stamped "Raytheon". But the boxes all say "MFD BY RADIO CORP OF AMERICA". The 12AX7s he had were a mix of long and short grey plates, but I scavenged eight black plate 5751s. Had I known what he was actually going to charge me I would have bought the rest - $5 each. Singles were ten bucks each. Now I wish I had gotten his name too, doggone it!

I also got five JAN 5Y3s, Sylvanias, brown socket for $40. Plus I picked up an old radio with a "custom" wood faceplate that has a Thordarson 22S74 OT and a good sized PT, a pair of 274B rectifiers, a pair of shorty 5881s and a 6N5 magic eye tube. I'm geeked! That was well worth the $20 I spent on it.

Those are some great deals...

I would suppose your in Michigan, here in Southern California
At our electronic swap meets there is a lot of competition in buying
Old tubes and very hard to find any deals like yours...

I would suggest you return the next month and keep looking
