[AMRadio] Check those tubes you might want to give away

[CL in NC]

For anyone with a bunch of tubes in inventory, I have about 9000 myself, before you give them away, check what they are going for on Epay.
The lowly 6SN7 goes for a great amount to audiophiles now, a pair of tested good American made selling for 200 or more. Most tubes are still
only a few dollars, but there are some, like the 6SN7, you can make a few bucks on.

Also, I just bought some electrolytics from Newark, actually I went with a US made brand for 50 cents each, but noted that many like Panasonic, and Nichicon were selling for 
3 to 6 cents a piece.  Many of our popular value resistors were selling at less that a penny each.   Many leaded components we need for our vintage stuff is going away.
even on Mouser and Digikey, all going to SMD.  Many common transistors of just a few years ago come back 'Obsolete' when you put in their number.   I needed a stud mount
 100V 100amp rectifier,  cheapest one I found was almost $20, a few years ago, these were common as dirt, even at Radio Shack for a package of two for a couple bucks.
