[NJARC] French Tube Collection

[Alex Magoun]

A French site, Retro-Forum (http://retro-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9086)
on radio and sound reproduction, has a post from a M. Loquen's son that
says the collection will be sold to private collectors, thanks to the help
of Roland Asensi.  Unfortunately, Mr. Asensi, also a collector of great
repute in France, died after a long illness in 2010.  One wonders whether
the Loquen collection is still in its building.  Adventurers could journey
to Plancoet to look for themselves: http://goo.gl/maps/foYJb.

Incidentally, if anyone's traveling to Europe or even South Hackensack,
this page has a handy list of dealers and sellers of interest:

 The rest of the website is pretty cool too.
