Yes you read my title right, I have a need for tubes of any type that no longer work or are just plain unwanted.

I am willing to pay for at least the shipping costs to my location (Mesa AZ, 85210).

Any size, any type, and they do not have to work. No broken glass though.

Oh, are we going to start seeing tubes in cowboy hats again? A customer in the store just the other day was saying he missed those!

I can start saving them for ya. Small Packet Airmail USA is $8.13 currently from .ca land for 250g or so of bork3d tubes.

Cheers!

Thank you for that link!!!

Not for Cowboy hats with tubes LOL, I have a "SteamPunk" project I am working on........a steam powered time machine. The power generator will be real and powered by live steam....it will power the LED's to make the tubes glow.

Friends of mine know I build tube amplifiers, etc...along with my steam power hobby...so I was asked if I could build them a "Time Machine"

You just need two more of those and a DeLorean, Ed! I'm sure someone could donate a flux capacitor from their junkbox parts. :{)

We still have "nixie" display gas pumps around here, though this photo is a few years old.
