Hi
Could have been retrieved from a dumpster. That would beat anything I’ve found,
but I may not be dumpster diving in the right neighborhoods ….

The only problem with these standards is the tube availability since they have

So using available non-5071 tubes is a challenge unless someone solved the

But the first one is pretty beat did someone have a bad day in the standards
lab???
fell off the shelf, or was piled in a bin with a lot of other stuff.
I would not be surprised if some idiot who was charged with data
integrity at some operation rendered it "safe" with a hammer and removal
of the tube. Could also have been an insurance buy-out damaged in
shipment somewhere with the tube pulled for parts.
I've dealt with this vendor, they do deal, they don't care. They really
have no clue unless you educate them of the value. $100-$300 would take
it if you get the right person, and can use the parts.
