Here are some pics of the tubes I brought back from the W0ZUS auction. Most of these tubes will go up for sale. Here is a partial listing of the types: 833, 6C21, 250TH/TL, 100TH/TL, 304TH/TL, 4-400, 4-250, 4-125, 4-65, 810, 4D32, 6883, 808, 802, 828, 8008, 872, 866. I'll pick out the ones I want to keep, and start listing the others probably in the next week or two. There are some odd tube numbers - Motorola 8643, and Amperex 6907 - Maybe somebody can enlighten me.

Those are very pretty.. Too bad I switched from 304's to 3-500Z's. Sure the 500 is a bigger tube but the 304 can't be beat for looks and can also be run AB1 if desired.

The 8643 grew out of the 829 line.  It is a 5894 with higher disappation.  Socket is the same but the plate pins are larger.  Used in UHF equipment by Motorola.

6907 is a UHF twin tetrode beam power tube designed to run up to 600 mhz. will do 90 watts input at 150 mhz with 20 watts dissipation, and that's CCS ratings.

Wow, those west coast guys that like to shoot at tubes must be drooling Grin Grin Grin I think a 12 gauge shotgun could do most of them in about five shots! There is also a 254W on the first table. 

Well anyhow, great collection of tubes for sure!
