Garbage Day Rocks!

Some goof was throwing out a pre-1961 Magnavox console so I snagged it. It was fully loaded with tubes. The power tubes are 6V6GT. 5 of them are stamped Magnavox but I'm pretty sure they are rebranded RCA black plates. The other 2 are most likely Sylvania. There was also a 12" speaker, a 15" speaker, and 2 horns with metal throats. The speakers have Alnico magnets and look suspiciously like Jensen's with metal magnet covers and all. They also sound like Jensen's.

Old Russian satellites have even more tubes in them! But you might have to fight the occasional cosmonaut dog of the pre-human space flight era. THose tubes are truly "vacuum" tubes, tho!

Sorry, couldn't resist the temptation!

I hear that old Hammond organs and the likes are also full of tubes. They're a common free item on Craigslist.
