Man oh man, just wait one month and I'll have my tube stash back from Saskatchewan. I've got some very interesting stuff to post here!

I remember those! It replaced the luminance output valve (PL802) on colour TV's that used CRT colour difference matrixing. Some old Philips did it.

It's not mine but it look cool.

This Russian TY81m looks pretty slick to me. Can't find any other references to it though.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

That's a seriously impressive valve. Presumably, one could extract quite a few watts in push-pull.

Here's a valve that used to be really common, but has slipped into the rocking-horse droppings category.

Everyone knows the 845, but who has played with Nuvistors? These are marked RCA 348.

Looks like the innards of a Dalek.
