Maybe I can use some stuff and figure out a project or two
to use with my high school students.


The 417A makes a jolly nice little one-tube amp for sensitive speakers
(the kind that comes free of charge out of trashed tube radios) and at
a reasonable plate voltage too, so the power supply can be cheap. See

have maybe a dozen or so of these for sale if there is a use for them.
They were part of some things I grabbed from a telephone microwave relay
station that was being done away with. Actually have some other oddball
tubes, thermal relays inside a vacuum tube enclosure and other odd stuff
if anyone is interested. Can take and upload pictures of the stuff too.
