[GreenKeys] ID Tool KS14408

[eldim at att.net]

Hello Don and Fellow Greenkeyers,
PN: KS14408 is an Electron Tube Extractor, Threaded and is designed for removal of the 416B tube which is a Western Electric number.  This is an odd special gold-plated metal Triode for microwave applications that has a threaded upper ring.  I did an eBay search and found pictures of this tube if you are curious  I'd like to see a picture of this tool.  I looked in my TELETYPE MAINTENANCE TOOLS, BULLETIN 1124B and did not see this puller listed.  Of course, this Bulletin is designed for tools used to maintain  mechanical Teletype Machines and surely wouldn't cover microwaves. The KS prefix is a AT&T number or one from Western Electric.  It is a very special purpose Tube Extraction Tool for sure, and ONLY Applicable for metal tubes of this design and size.

p.s. I don't think this will get posted to the group as I always seem to get my replys rejected.
