[R-390] 6082 (and other) tubes

[Gary Gitzen]

Hi R-390 guys & gals,

Visited a surplus electronics place today and found
about a dozen 6082 tubes, mostly NOS/NIB. Are there any
folks here on the list with enough interest in them at
$15/ea + shipping for me to travel 75-80 miles to get them?

They also had a large number of 6BJ6, 5651, 5749/6BA6, 5814,
5654/6AK5.

I also noticed about 10 silicon 866 replacements.
If I go for the 6082s, they can be had for $20 ea + ship.

Also noticed two what appear to be 5U4 silicon replacements.

If I go there again, and if you have any special tubes you
need, send me a list. They have a large number of "number"
tubes, and I also noticed some sweep tubes.
.From what I've seen so far, cost should be a bit below AES.
Packing & shipping will add some to that.

Please note: I am not in the tube sales business, and don't
want to go there. I saw these 6082s and had heard they were
getting scarce, so thought I'd share them with the R-390 list.
If I get overwhelmed with replies I'll have to back away from this.

I have no idea what packing will cost these days, but a
box + cushioning + gas for running around will probably
come close to $5. Shipping, with insurance, will add more.

I've newly rejoined the R-390 list after an absence of a few years
because I recently bought another R-390A. But that's a story for
another time.
