[ARC5] 1626 tubes

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Well, Joihn is correct but I took a quick look after someone said that 1626's 
are going for big bucks on eBay.  There were at the time only two auctions 
running.  One was for five (probably) used tubes at a total of $35.00.  
Marginally high for untested tubes.  The other was for three going for 99 cents total, 
cheap even if only one is any good.  So I'm not going to drop everything and 
rush over to Storage camera in hand.  :-)

FWIW,  the same seller had two 803's for sale.
