Richie	Re: Tell me about it This reminds me of the Electronics dept at the place I worked. They had old tube stuff they would take to a junk building. Most were watercom radios. but they also had PA stuff. And Transmitter tubes. They let the junk pile up till it needs more room, then throw it away. They took ALL.. the NOS tubes there in boxes thousands!!! I tried to buy them, begged..They all ended up in a rolloff box.. and trashed and broken. These were RCAs Sylvania, GE.. about any brand you could name. So keep your eye close to when they throw it out..{~}==:::Richie
