The only vacuum tubes that are worth money are the ones that I think
about buying :-).

Was cleaning up an old phonograph here, checked out the price
for a new 6SC7 in it and yowza! Better not break that one!

So if you want your tubes to be worth more, just send me some old
phonographs or radios or test equipment that might need them and I
guarantee the price will go up.

OTOH 807's and 1625's seem to be plentiful...
