Wouldn't mind getting a set of 180DVB22s for cheap...

Do hear Group buy? I say someone here contacts them and ask's for them to pull the add until this group gathers enough buyers for most. One person gets all the tubes and distributes them, the closer the person is to Seattle the better. Umm Curt !! Wink

I could get on board with the group buy idea...

I emailed him about getting one blue and one green NEC tubes. I am guessing he will probably want to just sell directly to Curt.

Did I miss something? This ad appears to be from the Bay Area, not Seattle.

Sorry, schmoe is correct. I'm just used to looking at the Seattle and Vancouver lists for boats (another expensive hobby).

Apologies for the completely n00b question, but do any of these serve as valid replacements for tubes in a 9500LC? I'm thinking about taking the leap into crt and I've got my eyes on one of these babies. Wouldn't hurt to have some spares. Thanks!

Nope, these are only 7 and 8" tubes.

LOL, I guess everyone is emailing him. I told him that there is talk of group buying all of them. Like I said, I am interested in a NEC green and blue. I will go in if someone closer wants to handle the group.

I made him an offer for the lot. We'll see if it pans out. I'm happy to share the spoils. I might not even bring these into Canada, I'll just ship from Wa. state.

I may be interested if any will fit a Sony D-50.

I also emailed him about the Panasonic 180DMB22 tubes. I really need a blue tube, and possibly all three. Dibs!

Well that's of course what I warned him about. The DVBs will sell, and he'll be stuck with a pallet of reds. There's no D50 tubes in the lot. One strange simulation tube that I've never seen before, the rest of the tube numbers are pretty obvious.
