[GreenKeys] Western Electric 358A tube

[Derek Cohn/WB0TUA]

Hi Everyone,

Continuing to paw through the junk box of "teletype" parts, there is a beehive shaped illuminated indicator.  Instead of an incandescent lamp inside, there is a Western Electric 358A tube.  Very interesting.  

Here's a data sheet on the tube:

Here's a photo of the one I have.  Please note that the assembly that covers the tube is painted and the paint is flaking.

I haven't tested it to see if it works....Any of you guys want it before I toss it on eBay?  If so, make me an offer.

Thanks and 73,
