Well, this is not a precise answer, but the SK had a large collection of
tubes. There were several thousand 7 and 9 pin that were untested and
unboxed, and those were sold to a list member.

There remain a thousand or so NIB/NOS and a dealer looked at them and
high graded some and paid the widow a pittance for a couple of dozen
'Bugle Boy's. She now knows better. I'll be offering the rest as a
single lot only in the near future..

There is really no way you can stop someone buying a unit for the tubes,
but would I sell just the tubes out of a unit to someone.? Nope. The SK
would be really hurt, IMO.

Best,
