None in this corner of the Third World.
The people in charge of these machines would have heard somewhere, that
the tubes contained Beryllium. That would immediately class them as
hazardous waste, to be destroyed at great expense to the nation and
great regret to its ham population.
I for one, have never heard of ex MRI tubes ever becoming available,
anywhere in this country. They would show up at hamfests and classified
ad sites if they were.
