[NJARC] WTB or WTT 864 tubes:

[JOE CRO]

John,
       Actually, the 864's are a sub for a WD-11 if the socket is modifyed 
to fit it.  I could also use longpin UX-199's with a socket modification.

I'd like to see if anyone would have any 864's that I could modify though. I 
most recently acquired a Westinghouse Aeriola Sr., with it's original brass 
based "Aeriotron" WD-11 in it. The tube works just fine, but the thought of 
it developing a problem is shuttering. They're very expensive to replace. I 
also have  Radiola IIIA I'd like to get playing. That's a total of 5 tubes 
between the two receivers. If I can find 864's for a good price I'll make up 
the base adapters. My UX-199's are committed to other receivers.

I could always use the UX-199's and have them go between radios, but I'd 
like to try 864's if possible. In addition, they're supposed to be a low 
micrpophonic tube, whereas the WD-11 is VERY microphonic!

Best Regards,
                     Joe
