- Larry you hit the nail on the head. I have bought a pile of tubes off eBay none of them have come from Russian Sources. If the seller claims not tested, or good tube, whatever, I always contact them,

- I'm not sure I'll ever want to take a chance on something like this happening again. I much prefer to buy tubes from someone close by so that I can strap on my .45 and personally carry the tube back

- Not only is it unprofessional to "STICK" another guy with a bad tube, but it will get you a very bad reputation quickly. I learned this basic philosophy from Tom Bruckner who he and I had traded on m

- I won't disagree with your conclusions about the pitfalls of buying cold war surplus tubes; however, I thought Anthony Welsh was a British ham/electronics dealer? For what it's worth, I've bought rel

- I built my first Russian tube in 1998 (GS-35b) after a ham friend swapped me a tube at the Puyallup electronics flea market (In the Seattle area) I was quite impressed at the time with how well it wo
