Finally tossing these vintage tubes that were once upon a time used for tvs. . Last year I found them downstairs in Jerry's cellar workshop. They belonged to my Uncle Carl in PA. When he passed and we had to fully clear his home before I turned it over for the estate sale, Jerry took many things that Uncle Carl had squirreled away. He brought them back here 5o MN. Most went a few years ago when the online auction company cleared out the shop for me. But some remained, these among the relics. Stashed downstairs. Although I found these late last year, I posted on my FB hoping, I guess, that someone might want them. There's my DNA, Teofil's granddaughter, "you keep this, good stuff, you no have to feed them, someday you gonna want them, be glad you gave them then, you see" and Carl's niece. I hate to just toss stuff but yet I know it is nerely stuff, I have no use for it, No one does.
I spotted this note from 1959, that Uncle Carl wrote on 1 box with tubes, he was meticulous. Anyway I had tossed another misc, brown bag of these, I set these boxed back on a shelf. How I wish I could ask Jerry why he saved them, especially because back then he cautioned me about not keeping things when we cleared Carl 's home. The same happened a few years before when we cleared out Aunt Jinx home.
Hi Pat, it's been a while since I checked to see IF you were still online. We know someone here in Nashua, NH, who has old radios that used tubes like these. And I can recall that my father used to have some like these in his garage that also were tossed when we cleared house.
ReplyDeleteAs you can see, I seldom post here. Everyone keeps in touch on FB, I know you don't go there. I try to post every once in a blue moon to keep this thing alive, who knows why? It bugged me to toss all those tubes, but they were of no use to me nor anyone around here. I'd asked around and no takers, so out to the recycle bin they went.
