This is slightly off-topic but I knew some of you would have knowledge and interest :-)
I rescued some tubes from a couple of old (40's and 50's) radios that were getting the crowbar treatment (although I started to, that story is too sad to recount). One of them surprised me by having a magic eye tube, which I've never seen in person, which is what prompted me to pull out all the tubes I could. Wish I'd had time to salvage sockets as well. Now, I am not a tube guy. I don't know if any of these work or whether they'd be worth ebaying if they did work. One of the radios did at least amplify the dust noise in the volume knob. I'd love to make something with them (the magic eye especially) but don't have the time to learn or to do it. What I do know is that I'd rather have them get used than end up in a dumpster. Is there any value at all in salvaged tubes? I think the magic eye is a 6e5 type (I don't have them with me and haven't made a list yet). Anyone seen a decent kit I can plug this into that will just do "something"? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
