Post a useless fact

There will be no peace between "I" and "Me."

I want a piece of me.

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

 

[Parts]

All the tubes I have are older American or European ones not all new in the box but tested.  I still use them is some radios and equipment when fixing things so it wouldn't be all I have on hand but if you need a couple or any weird ones PM

12345 is a zip code for     Schenectady New York

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

[Rabbit From Hell]

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

[Rabbit From Hell]

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.

[Rabbit From Hell]

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.

[Rabbit From Hell]

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

[Rabbit From Hell]

The B-2 flies like a rock with a jet engine attached.

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

GIVEN the place that contacted me,
I might just need to know some of that.

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.
