I'm using one on a one-tube board I am making (a bit excessive for one tube, but it is small, 5V and can sink a decent current). At the moment I have one on a breadboard. They work as advertised! I picked up some Adafruit QFN44 adapters from digikey and had a stencil made to do the reflow with:

That is sheer negligence in the case of GSP to pack it in such a way that damage could happen. Glad to see you got the matter resolved and good luck in finding someone to restore the damage to such a nice radio. I ship clocks via TNT fully insured delivery and, touch wood, have not had any dama

OK, I can see WHY (because it's rare and it feels good to own the only known existing tube in the world), but it doesn't provide anything more than pride of owning it. The money is just too serious to buy it as a paper-weight, at least for me. W dniu wtorek, 5 grudnia 2017 18:22:20 UTC+1 użytko

This is a bit insane. I understand that this tube is rare and all, but as this is just a single of unknown properties (it might have gas composure resulting in short life) I can't think why would anyone buy it - with that money, you could buy a set of 6 Z568Ms! If this thing ends up being sold

Hi folks, off-topic question: has anyone around here experience with the website newspapers.com? Is it a legitimate website, or is their "7 day free trial" (where you have to put in a credit card) just a scam? Cheers Jens -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Gr
