This is exactly my problem. I only collect symbolic tubes, not numeric. In addition, I'm not interested in simple plus, minus, and/or numeral 1 tubes so I'd like to be able to filter them out as well. I already have all the former Soviet symbol tubes and I don't know what to search for next on eBay. > The database would only provide text data about the tubes - no images or > datasheets - if a collector owns a particular tube, a link could be added to > see this tube on the collectors page.

Links to existing sites would have to be a main feature. On a related note, one of my nightmares is that sites like http://www.tube-tester.com or www.jb-electronics.de might disappear someday due to unforeseen circumstances. It would be terrible to lose all of that information and the enormous effort put into compiling it.
