[Boatanchors] Off to that Auction Site: RE: Have 5 Plus Pictures: FW: Any Interest in 866A Tubes?

[William]

Hello All,
Received some notes of interest, but no commits.  Other possibilities include too high a cost or everyone is out on vacation.  Perhaps the price is a bit steep, but there is some amount of time and effort involved to ship separate boxes.
In any case, my plan is to place the entire lot for sale on eBay and see what happens.
Best Regards,
William

> Hello All,
> I received a few replies, so there is interest!
> There
>  are 5 tubes, and I have measured them on my Hickok 752A (minimum good 
> is 650).  Unless otherwise noted, bases and top connections are tight. 
>  Here are the details:
> Tube 1:  Electronic Enterprises JAN 866A, no date/mfg code, something small rattling in the base, measures 1000.Tube 2:  RCA, tube number rubbed off, date code 709, measures 1050.Tube 3:  RCA, JAN CRC-866A, date code H3, measures 1050.Tube 4:  RCA, JAN CRC-866A, date code H3, measures 1050.Tube 5:  RCA, tube number rubbed off, date code 65-26, top cap is slightly loose, measures 1100.

> Cost is $5 per tube plus postage.
> Depending

> option is USPS Medium Flat Rate Box with even more cardboard and maybe

> I estimate a 6" cube box would weigh 1 
> pound.  Tubes would ship from 55076.  You can use the ship cost 
> estimator at USPS.com to calculate shipping charges.
> Hopefully someone will take them all so I will have to pack only 1 box.  :)  PayPal to w_b_morton at hotmail.com works best.  
> Please indicate which one(s) you want by the tube number so I can keep track of their respective destinations.
> Best Regards,

> Hello All,
> I have a few from an estate sale - 5, I think.  Anyone interested?  Once I get them tested I can let everyone know the data and count of tubes.  Just sending out a feeler for now to see if I should continue with the effort as the summer 'to-do' list is long.  
> Speaking up now does not obligate you to buy anything, nor does it imply you are guaranteed to get one if you are interested.  :)  Once the count and test data are set, I will send out another communication.
> Thanks and have a great weekend.
> Best Regards,
