    What to do with
  OLD Radio Tubes!

RCA 5671. By the way, the 5671 with chimney weighs 195#. Number four is some of my older receiving tubes. Number five is some of the transmitting and foreign receiving tubes. Number six is some more transmitting tubes. And seven is some water cooled and larger bottle transmitting tubes. So you see, the tubes have a good home.

Thanks again for making the two tubes available.

    While Down at the Rickreal lHam-fest I sold some old tubes that had been donated to the Club to Bob, K2GLO. What do you want to bet that that GLO stands for the glow of Radio tubes? Anyway the Tube above was broken. The rounded glass section was broke during transit.
    Bob wanted it anyway and said he would fix it up for his collection. I asked him to send me a picture of it when finished and this is his reply.

Picture #5  is some of the transmitting and foreign receiving tubes.

Hi Chuck:
I bought the two air cooled transmitting tubes from you at Rickreal in February. You asked me to send you a pix of the broken tube after it was repaired. I found that a globe from
a #300 railroad lantern was a pretty close match. I finally got it assembled. the first pix is the tube without the air shroud or chimney. The second Pix is with the air shroud and chimney. Number three are the two tubes I bought from you dwarfed by an
