[Boatanchors] Western Electric tubes.

[Philip Atchley]

Hi.
A friend of mine brought over a fair sized box of tubes to prowl through and
see if there were any that I needed.  Some were TV, some were military (like
2D21 Thyatrons) etc but I did find a few I could use.  However, I also found
the following Western Electric tubes that "may" be of use to someone out
there.  The numbers on these all look/sound familiar to me from the days
when I worked on some military microwave systems.  If these are the tubes I
remember there are NO known suitable substitutes for them that I am aware
of.  So, if somebody has any gear using them they will make good spare stock
to have on hand.

NOTE:  ALL ARE UNBOXED PULLS, LOOK NEW BUT I AM UNABLE TO TEST IN MY TUBE
TESTER.  So they are offered "as is".  Date codes on the tubes that have
them are 56/57 vintage.  All are 7/9 pin miniatures.

The tubes (Western Electric numbers):
1.  396A (2 each)
2.  399B (1 each)
3.  400B (1 each)
4.  401A (2 each)

I am NOT in the parts business, these are only offered as I think they may
be of real use to someone.

Take all 6 for $6.00 which INCLUDES shipping to the lower 48.  You can see
I'm not getting rich off them <grin>.
