When I was a kid, I can the vacuum tube tester at the local Radio Shack. It was as self-service machine with a bunch of tube sockets on the top.
My parents had an old David Bogen pre-amp with tubes (as part of a mono system) and I used to find it frustrating to wait for the thing to warm up. I now experience similar frustration every workday when I restart or shutdown my work-issued Windows laptop. Scott ________________________________ From: Roger D.

I know people collect them from going to estate auctions. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
