[Amps] Buying Stolen Tubes?

[Dave]

> Would you buy it?

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 removed, as in handling care, those things get fragile 
after a lot of use, plus you don't know if it was allowed to fully cool 
down (filament/cathode) before being pulled, and though it was an 
ex-employee who removed it, you have to wonder how the dent on the side 
of the anode cooler got there.

Regards.

PS:	Saw an Ameritron 811 (I think) amp for sale in the junk hall at 
yesterdays Wythall rally, £450 I think they were asking, and no idea as 
to if any sort of functionality, or even if the bottle was in there.

It looked like something from the 1960's.
