[Boatanchors] Old active image intensifier tube

[Steve Uhrig]

I guess not all boat anchors are radios.

A friend sent this:

> Steve, in going through my collection of "stuff too good to throw away
> just yet" I came across a Farnsworth 1P25 vacuum tube (the main
> element in one of the WW II night vision devices) -- in original
> packing, plus a data sheet I got from GE in the mid-1950s.  Its serial
> number (written in pencil on the box) is H 53 72. 

> If this sort of thing is of any interest to you at all, or if you know
> of some museum or collector who has an interest in early surveilance
> hardware, I would be happy to send it to you.. 

=========

If anyone might have an interest in this, please strobe me and I'll get 
you in touch with him. I imagine from the part number it's a small CRT.
