[Milsurplus] Tube Purge

[William Donzelli]

Time again for a long overdue tube purge. This time I have included the
milsurplus list, as there are many mil tubes in the bunch, and most are
mil radio friendly.

Anyway, to review the details. Each lot is $20.00 delivered to your door
(in other words, shipping included) in the US. Anyone overseas interested
should ask first and I will come up with a reasonable price to reflect the
greater postage.

Each lot is sorted by basic style, but that is it. They are untested and
unsorted, both clean and dirty. In the past, people tend to get a yield of
about 90 percent good tubes. Not a bad deal. Tubes that are obviously bad
(gassy, busted) do not even make it to the first step, however, one or two
every so often might break in shipment. I pack the lots pretty well, but
things happen. I generally pack a few extras in each lot.

With the exception of the *** lot, the tubes are all boatanchor and
milradio happy types. No useless TV junk, 17 volt tubes, and so
forth. Generally, the types have to show up in Tube Lore to make the
lots. Listed are some typical types you may (and probably will) get in the
lots.

So speak up (off lists please), and claim whatever lots you want. Claim
multiples of each if you want. Sunday or so I will figure out who gets
what.

And now, the lots:
