I’ve never even seen a Burroughs box for these. I have seen a premade Styrofoam case that held many tubes on ebay before.
I’ve purchased many of the tubes which were ‘pulls’ and they were all wrapped in newspaper from 1970-1972 - I still have the newpaper wrappings. I also have about 20 of the complete boards (tubeless). Only recently rediscovered when we were moving from one office space to another.

I have this religious belief that everything on the surplus market consisted of NYSE pulls, as suggested by the words "removed from operational equipment". Did your NOS actually come in Burroughs boxes marked with the tube type, or were they just covered in bubble wrap? Did they look any different than the ones you got with the boards?

By 1980, the prices had almost doubled (used tubes were USD$4 and NOS were USD$5) which is understandable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
