[Boatanchors] thank youTube crossreference on line? 8643, 8072

[Michael J. Clarson]

 Art: Looks like you found what you need. Just some pointers on cross
references. Motorola often sold graded tubes with their own house numbers.
If you have a tube branded Motorola, usually in green, it may be a graded
tube whose number may not show in the usual cross references. For example,
the Motorola 4657 is a specially selected 8072. It will always work for an
8072, but all 8072's may not make power in Motorola radios. They did the
same thing for those gold pin 5894 variants.--Mike, WV2ZOW

Just want to thank the group for their input.  Great help I will now see
what I have. There are 4 large boxes of these tubes.  If anyone is looking
for something strange let me know. There is a good chance that a lot of this
is from the 60's and 70's and is much later than our boatanchor equipment. 
I did get a few 12AT7's and 6BA6's.  Was really looking for a nice stash of
6146's to feed my Valiant.  Might have to trade for those. They ever had a
few 807's and 866A's.  Had not seen those for years.
There are a few 829B's, 2 beautiful 6155 (must be high power amp tube),
several 3B28 and also some 8073's Then a large bunch of mini 9 pin tubes.
Just let me know and if someone knows of a market or has a need for the big
ones, email me Art K5FNQ
