[ARC5] MW and the BC-375

[J Mcvey]

 Two of the three monster tubes are good or at least appear to be so. One lost vacuum.I'm willing to make a great deal with anyone who may have an interest.
I wonder if a modern power pentode could be adapted to use in triode mode as a sub?

Still, there aren't very many of us who are willing to spend $400 to get a 1928 design 70 watt transmitter going. Which is why I'm still working on substitute tubez.

Not a bad rate of appreciation. In 1964, I was buying them at Pacific Surplus,
 
on Skid Row in Seattle, for $.25 each, to use as "grenades".

Wow $600 each!! !
