Title: Used Space Shuttle parts... from Italy! Post by: KK4YY on May 23, 2019, 06:27:01 PM Would you spend $2000 for 8 octal tube sockets? No? What if I told you they were genuine, vintage, original, from the Space Shuttle? Now what do you say, hmm? https://www.ebay.com/itm/SOCKET-tube-MILITARY-SPEC-Space-Shuttle-octal-amphenol-5692-B65-METAL-SEAT-BASE/253679604067?hash=item3b107b9163:g:ftUAAOSwH2VaSmHJ (https://www.ebay.com/itm/SOCKET-tube-MILITARY-SPEC-Space-Shuttle-octal-amphenol-5692-B65-METAL-SEAT-BASE/253679604067?hash=item3b107b9163:g:ftUAAOSwH2VaSmHJ) P.S. This is definitely NOT my listing. Title: Re: Used Space Shuttle parts... from Italy! Post by: KD6VXI on May 23, 2019, 08:21:46 PM Those are FOR the shuttle. Not FROM.
As such, not worth nearly what they are asking. It's those grammar things that tell you you know your shit vs you know you're shit lol. Can't remember where I heard that one, but I love it. Not directed at anyone, either. --Shane KD6VXI Title: Re: Used Space Shuttle parts... from Italy! Post by: Opcom on May 23, 2019, 10:59:29 PM please tell me what vacuum the space shuttle used! :o The Russian one maybe - but even that is doubtful as it was very up to date when built!
Title: Re: Used Space Shuttle parts... from Italy! Post by: KK4YY on May 24, 2019, 12:13:11 AM Maybe the Italian space shuttle used vacuum tubes. That would explain why nobody ever heard of it.
Title: Re: Used Space Shuttle parts... from Italy! Post by: W2PFY on May 24, 2019, 09:20:41 PM I didn't look up what type of radios they used in our space shuttles but I find it hard to believe, that any vacuum tubes were used? The closest thing associated with the shuttle that may have had a filament in it, probably were magnetrons of the day.............I rest my case, because its heavy!
Title: Re: Used Space Shuttle parts... from Italy! Post by: ka1tdq on May 25, 2019, 10:20:56 AM The shuttle program used ultra-military grade T-368s and R390 paired combinations. The Director of NASA at the time the shuttles were designed was an AM enthusiast.
Jon Title: Re: Used Space Shuttle parts... from Italy! Post by: Opcom on May 26, 2019, 12:48:13 AM I wonder what HF radios if any were flown on shuttle missions?
I've seen that socket type before, don't recall where. Title: Re: Used Space Shuttle parts... from Italy! Post by: WBear2GCR on May 26, 2019, 09:38:39 PM Shuttle = VHF afaik.
Title: Re: Used Space Shuttle parts... from Italy! Post by: Opcom on May 27, 2019, 01:53:02 PM I thought so, had never seen any HF stuff in the consumer manual. AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
