Here is an interesting question. There is a listing you know where ,251014194517. The story goes on to say it was taken from a radio staton, stolen. Would you buy it? I am not interested but the stor

It makes for an interesting story. Stolen? Leverage? They are up front about the history. If they took it to court it's questionable whether it'd be called stolen or not as the new owners were not up

I'm not a lawyer and I read the post. I consider the tube stolen but others may not. My thoughts? Don't buy anything with a shady background! It isn't worth it. 73, BJ _______________________________

There is NOTHING in the description saying 'stolen'. Read the info carefully ... it seems his 'aunt' had it removed so the 'new owners' could not use the station until they paid her. Then she sold th

It is a very convoluted story. Tubes are part of a station. If you sell someone something and they don't pay you have legal options. Unless there is some part of the sales contract that states the tu

Probably not, but not because of any "shady" history as documented, I did read the story, plausable but no proof. But anyway. I wouldnt buy that one purely because I do not know how carefully it was

I remember hearing, I think it was a TV news story, several years ago that said 60% is stolen. Seems a little high to me but it may be in some categories. It would be an interesting thing to Google.

Yes, perhaps there is 60% stolen in some categories. I could believe that figure. Something else I know, is there are a lot of fakes on eBay. There was someone selling holders for hard disks which go

Id say that the only significant amount of pilfered tubes on Fleabay are from the military when hams pocketed them at high rates. Since these are mostly from the 80's and earlier the time of prosecut
