content: Some really old 4pin valves there as well, along with a lot of common TV and radio tubes as well. You could do a good resell on just the audio output tubes as well, selling them as tested matched pairs.

content: It's going to interest someone .... but I reckon the one who gets it will be close enough to drive there.These guys say they have "no idea" about this stuff - which may be a ruse to make you think they haven't skimmed the best of the lot ... or they may be being honest. If they are being honest, I don't know how much I would trust them to pack so much glass .... nor the carrier who transports it all.

content: There's a decent chance the tubes as parts are that valuable..... you've gotta be valuing the time spent sorting and listing them pretty low for that to be a reasonable investment, though.
