Re: Too many CRTs and Tubes

 

Walter,

As I too grow older (now 75) I sympathize with your situation and wonder what will happen to my small collection of test equipment. Unfortunately, I have no good suggestions and not even any bad suggestions for disposing of large accumulations of tubes and CRTs. Like everyone, I have a short list of a few I¡¯m looking for, but what you need is someone with a truck to take the whole thing.?

On top of my list is an HP 5083-0722 dual-gun CRT for my HP-132A Oscilloscope. This was HP¡¯s only dual-gun ¡®scope and is consequently rare. My 132A has a good CRT so I¡¯m not desperate but spares are always nice. With secure packaging and shipping from Canada to the States, it will be an expensive purchase but I can make it worth your time.?

My condolences on the death of Her Majesty ER2 and my congratulations on the accession of the new King, Charles III. I¡¯ve waited all my life for Charles to become King!?

Regards,
Jeremy Nichols

Here at Sphere, we have slowly accumulated a LOT of Tek, HP, EIA and Euro CRTs for a wide range of instruments, and they take up a LOT of space, and now are very costly to ship and to store.?

Susan and I are now 73, and this makes disposing of these tubes more of an issue than before. We literally have an entire room filled with tubes of all kinds, and two storage buildings with walls stacked with CRTs. So, we are looking for suggestions as to how to move these on, before the only choice turns out to be recycling or disposal. The sheer bulk makes shipping difficult, so ideally somebody with a van needs to show up and haul away these items for pennies on the dollar. We are in West Kelowna, BC (Canada).

if you have any good suggestions on how to solve this, please let me know. I spent a lot of years curating a very good assortment of high quality audio, radio, transmitting, industrial and power supply tubes, and I hate to think of them in a land fill somewhere, knowing how many pieces of gear they could keep alive. Not to mention how many tube and CRT testers we have.
?
All suggestions welcome,
all the best,
