Wanted: Wireless Set Valves/Tubes

[Jordan Baker]

Hi David.

I've got two of the 6K8G valves. No idea if they are good or not.

[Bob Carriere]

.....if you plug them into your cell phone I can test them from here!!!!!

Busy doing much more basic stuff today....... like filling in the wood box so we can be comfortable during the next 12 inches of snow coming down.

All kidding aside tube testers, which used to be in every Drugstore, are coming harder and harder to find. A good tested running military tester from WW 2 runs around $800 US when you can find them. Dam Ebay all you want, that is where I found mine in Houston Texas.

I am more than willing to test your tubes if you walk them over to Hammond and we can always test an "807".

Cheers

Jordan.

I have a Precision Model 612 Tube Tester, so the current status is not a problem. Step 1 for now is fill the holes with the correct bits. Then upgrade what needs it as time permits.

As Bob does, I will just tag the valves with their status and move forward accordingly.

PM me with the price and we will go from there.

Best regards,

David

David....If you need something from this end, just drop me a note and I can pick it up for you and send it on it's way. Robert

With the help of some wonderful MLU members, I have now obtained the 6H6 and a pair of 6K8G's.

Several options for the 6V6G's have come to light.

Now if I can just find that winning lottery ticket...

Great to hear that David was able to get help from the MLU community to acquire some tubes...however the most catching comment was provided by Bob C. who fondly remembers using/smashing large tubes as grenades when he was a kid.. ahh the good old days! I was just telling a bunch of kids about how my brothers and I were told by our Dad to dump the black oil he drained from his car on the gravel lane behind our house to keep the dust down! No more.

Used to do the same thing when I was a kid, actually. A friend's Dad was a Radio/TV Repairman and used to be our grenade supplier. Come to think of it, he had been in Canadian Signals during the war and had married a girl from Holland.
