Sorry dont have any yet or I would be happy to let one go. Ted / KC9LKE Title: Re: 813's Post by: Opcom on September 30, 2011, 11:22:02 PM I have some 813's, will check if any are NOS. Probably RCAs. Check tomorrow Saturday, and reply.
I can only ask, how can I tell a NOS from one that has had very light use and is in a box with the excelsior? Only if it is still taped up, maybe, if the used tape. I don't know. scratches on the base or pins is one way although it would have had to have been in a socket at least once at the factory! .. help me out here. but I will look in the morning. Title: Re: 813's Post by: KM1H on October 01, 2011, 12:08:19 PM If its the same brand and era/datecode as the box its got a chance of being NOS. I also look for any marks on the base as well as plate cap but thats far from foolproof as only the military usually used the twist lock sockets.
