Saw an SUV last weekend with license plate 6L6 511

Hollow state audio guy I assume, no antennas visible. Any other vacuum tube vanity plates spotted?

On the other hand mine is (or was, until I stopped driving): 807

One of the CB linear mfgrs in the 80s had MR 455 as a plate.

He only did 2 and 4 device amps with,  as you can guess....   MRF455s.

Alas,  I had 2MNYDB as in Too Many DB in my car audio days.   Always figured if I went QRO mobile,  that would work,  too.

Not hollow,  but related.

This is my plate.  The tube equivalent over here 



Happy Thanksgiving to all !

Very cool,  Steve!

Things tend to get hectic here around holidays,  so happy turkey day to all!

I could not find a 511 vacuum tube? There is a CV-511 which is the same as a 6V6GT.

Must be a tube with circular getters, black plate Bugle Boy, pure copper no oxygen gold embossed ceramic base hard to find cryogenic treated NOS tube?

Don't forget that the copper must come from a certain region in Chile in order to produce the "right" sound. As with fine wine grapes, location matters. 

Wonder if there are any mil surplus radio license plates, like ART 13, ARC 5 or BC 348? Or AM BCB xmtrs like BC-1H1?

511 is the New York State penal code for driving with a suspended/revoked/expired driver's license.
