Title: score!!
Post by: DummyLoad on May 28, 2012, 08:20:19 pm

a friend owns a thrift shop and ran across these and thought of me. what a wonderful fellow. he hits estate sales and scores some neat stuff.

i build amps for him and he keeps me in mind whenever he runs across tubes or old PA amps at garage sales and estate sales.

tentatively, i traded the bogen ch30 hack i just finished (posted in a recent thread) if he decides to keep it, otherwise 100 bux takes the caddy. nearly all are new.

sorry the pix are upside down, brain fart. :-/

Schweet!  So nice to see that end up where it belongs.  Couldn't possibly be going to a better home. That box is like 80% killer, 15% kewl, and 5%TV.

MAN , you guy's have all the luck. The best score i've been able to find is an old Astor radio that i don't even know if it works and they want to slug me $65.  :sad2:

That's a great one! If the tube boxes tell anything, it looks like a lot of NOS. I've got a GE tube box almost the same thing but not as good as shape as yours and didn't get the quality/quantity tubes as you got with it. Outstanding! Platefire

Those 7027A's, 5879's & such "odd" numbered tubes are pretty useless.....I'll email my address to you so you can send them to me (on your dime, of course) so they may be disposed of properly.

VERY nice score!
