Trouble is that a 585 has almost no monetary value.
Unless you manage to find someone local who can appreciate an 80mHz tube scope with 4 cm deflection you probably can't give it away.
Wouldn't it be better to see it parted out than crushed and buried?
I don't sacrifice equipment for audio tubes but in a case like this, recycling tubes can be the best practicable outcome…sad but true.

I overheard a guy at the DeAnza flea market a few years ago tell about how he would wipe the markings off tubes and remark with a marker so the hard core tube vultures wouldn't want the scopes/tubes he was selling, but the people who would actually use the scopes wouldn't care.
Seemed kind of extreme...

Hi
Don?t sell him over eBay and other plattform, because audio people will killing them for 6DJ8. In Germany are selling many 585 to this idiots.
You can pull out 6Dj8, put russia 6922 into 585.
You will seeing, interested buyer will be reduced, because some are a tube vulture ;-)
