Yes there are lots of tubes I mainly use them in radio applications though ever need one or two ask :)


I would take any older American made or German made 5Y3, 5R4W rectifier tubes you have on hand.

Any 6N1P, 6H2N or SV83/EL84 types (or their variants) also.

Not interested in Chinese or Russian tubes, other than Sovteks with the eagle imprint

prop jobs don't work at high altitudes because there is not enough air for the propellors to push against

jets don't work well at low altitudes because air drag at the lower altitudes severly limits the speed the plane can fly at efficiently and without falling apart from vibrations

The F-22 is capable of flying at supersonic speeds without the use of afterburners, this is the 'supercruise' thing you might have heard about.

The avionic package of the f-22 alone gives the pilot a huge advantage to PWN any other fighter in existence because it uses a computer to perform mundane tasks that pilots of lesser fighters must do themselves.

The machine gun on an a-10 was designed by israel and can shoot a (presumably) non-radioactive u238 slug through tanks and bunkers.

Shooting the bottom of an F-4 Fantom is futile, it's more heavily armoured than any other jet.

If you're a civilian and you find those facts not to be useless you need to re-check your job description.

Has it really been a week since this conversation began?!?

This has been a sort of fucked up week. Thank gawd that it flew by at super-life speed. I wonder - is there a life barrier that must be breached in order to enter super-life speed? If so, does it create a shock wave?
 ::)





Parts, I am really interested in Mullard, RCA, or Telefunken branded 5Y3s, 5R4W, 6DJ8, 12AX7, or EL84.

I don't know enough about the nuts and bolts of old radios to know if those specific types were used.

These tube types that I have listed are very common in modern tube type equipment, which I own. This, obviously, makes them more desirable than most types and a resulting rarity ensues, along with a higher price often being expected.  I would certainly be interested in any "deals,too good to pass up" you might have encountered in your dives, but I would not want to rip you off.


You might scan this guy's site.  He has an excellent reputation for quality service among the tube hi-fi crowd.

Another one, here, who buys tubes outright and is known for his fairness.


You may have some treasures, if you haven't catalogued them recently.

A net friend of mine made a lamp from a huge, old broadcast tube that he had acquired (posted a pic - I'll have to find it).  He runs the heater section, only, and has positioned it in his home's entryway as a nightlight.

:D
