In my recent purchase from the HRSA meeting I got numerous TV valves which I have no use for. I will send a picture which is quite clear if you want them then take them all. I will keep the radio valves if any. I just ask that you pay the postage please.

I'll take them. Please send me an email to give an indication of the expense and how to pay you.

Some radio valves spotted

6BM8 was used in several HMV record players
12BH7 Signal generators
6AV6 HMV Little Nipper
6AQ5 Several audio outputs
6BE6 Pentagrid

6BX6 was used in Heathkit oscilloscopes. If you spot a video OP tube 6CK6. You can tie pin 6 (suppressor) to the cathode & use it for a 6M5.

I haven't opened it yet, will do when it reaches its final destination next Monday.

No shortage of 6M5's here, got lots of used ones.

I did grab a few radio valves before I sent them.

I was consumed with curiosity so I opened the box.

A big bag full of 6BL8's. Some radio valves still there: 6BE6, 6BA6, 6N8, 6AD8, 6M5, 6AV6. One EM84 tuning indicator that appears to have come out of a tape recorder. Lots of TV valves (as expected). Some army types (CVxxxx). A few voltage regulators, and a few others to round it off.

Looks like the contents of the plastic thing in the 2nd photo were not included (I think).

A good haul in the end. Smile

Yeah silly me I forgot to put it in the box. I got home from the post office and saw it in my workshop oh dear me I said.

Maybe when you gather more unwanted types we can try the mail thing again some day.
