[Don Merz]

For Sale: Tubes and Headphones. 

TUBES

Four 224 Globe-shaped tubes, One Zenith, one
Silvertone and Two Crosley BLUE made by Arcturus.
These all test good. All 4: $30 plus $8.60 priority
flat rate box mailing with tracking.

Three 45 tubes in ST-shaped bulbs. One Raytheon tests
like new. Two RCA test just good, not strong. All 3:

One 10Y tube in ST-shaped bulb, Sylvania JAN, tests
like new. The 10Y is equivalent to an 801 and was used
as the driver in the BC-375 and -191 WWII
transmitters. It can also replace a type 10 in your
Hartley or golden ears amplifier with no changes. $15
plus $8.60 priority flat rate box mailing with
tracking.

HEADPHONES: Classic headphones from the 1920’s era of
early broadcast radio. Some uncommon headphones are in
this group. I can get about 3 pairs of headphones in
one flat rate box. A single pair would probably be
$5.50 or so parcel post with tracking.
