[R-390] Send your 7591 power amp tubes to me

[blw]

Roy,

Purchase, what purchase? I ain't making no stinkin' purchase.  (g)

I run free ads in the for sale bulletin that comes out every week in several
sections stating that I am looking for tubes, old equipment, radios, etc for
restoration as a hobby. I get some calls from people trying to sell
something of grandpa's for mint prices, but most calls are from people
wanting the BA  stuff we love to find a good home. The receiver was offered
free if I drive an hour to Montgomery to get it along with a Heathkit VTVM
that the guy built. The guy is moving and remembered reading my ad last
November. He is a very interesting guy who flew B-29s over Japan in the big
one. He has already told me a lot of neat stories over the phone.

I guess I've gotten around 80% of my stuff from those ads for free. I've
paid very reasonable prices for collections of tubes here and there. This
receiver isn't worth mortgaging the family farm over. Someone has already
written that the 7951's are known to have a short life. It appears that a
mod over to the 5881 is in order....one day maybe. At least the reciever
won't be thrown out on the street when they move!!! Who knows, maybe someone
will call with a barn full of 7951's one day. Those ads are free and I'm
going to keep on running them every week.
