[NJARC] 7094 Tetrode Tube

[Scott Roberts]

The seller's e-bay ID is "hugotv", and his rating is pretty good (99.1%)

I have been in contact with him since it arrived, but nothing has been completely resolved as yet. The purchase was a "Buy It Now" for a reasonable price, with no mention tubes were not included. We did discuss the best way to ship them- I had recommended my favorite of packing bags of packing peanuts around them in situ- it keeps them from moving, and/or being hit by anything, and is a pretty sturdy method. He said he was going to pack them inside, but removed. Apparently they were taken out & shipped separately, via Parcel Post. I have had problems with PP in thepast, taking too long to arrive(which is why I tell people NEVER use it! Always use Priority Mail)

He has offered to buy back the unit, but I figured a bird in the hand was better than none- I am at least ahead by having the machine... So I told him we'd keep looking for the tubes, and he told me he'd check with the Post Office.

I'm hoping to find something I can adapt in, if the 7094s fail to appear. I am looking over the schematics & cogitating. I also need the 866AX's, but found a place with NOS ones in very nice shape around $30 a piece. (Does the club or anybody have them cheaper in NOS or good used condition?)

Thanks!
Scott
