am  curious - do MRI still use tubes or are they mostly solid state  
power-amplified now?
 
Yes, most of that medical equipment is now solid state and just about all  
of the surplus tube equipment in that field has already been stripped out 
for  parts.  Some time ago I hooked up with 2 outfits that bought out these 
old  tube MRI/medical equipment type amplifiers.  I had a standing order for  
several stripped out parts.  I routinely got emails for loads of parts I  
was interested in and bought by the bushel full.  In the past year the  supply 
has dried up.  There is slim pickin's these  days.
