So One of my Elevator Mechanics stopped by today and gave me 8 Raytheon 2050A/2050's The only thing I can find on these is that they were used in jukebox's. I dont know squat about these tubes, are they worth keeping and building something with them? I cant test them either but the boxs are in excellent condition and the tubes are as well. Any info welcome. Not sure how to date these either

It's a thyratron switch tube. No use in audio applications. The SCR (silicon controlled rectifier) is the solid state counterpart.

Thanks Steve, I guess Ill just put these in the box of I cant use this stuff   or see if I can trade somewhere

Put them on eBay. Elevators don't use them no more, but people still restore jukeboxes, and the thyratrons are a regular problem.
