Or Ebay, I bought a brand new handle tube (in the box) for about $400 a
few months back. Your results may vary... mine haven't.
: Yeah, but Rich, unless they trip over one at an estate sale, MOST hams
: wouldn't even come into possession of one in the first place.
I paid less for any one of my handle tubes than I did to re tube my BTI
with a new 3-1000z. Glass bottles are very pretty to actually look at
during operation... handle type tubes are more fun to watch the actual
result on the meters.
