so theres this old tv repair guy who , one day in 1987, after working till
2am on a TV Set, getting frustrated, turned off the lights in the shop and
never walked back in.
he has around 900 never used, still in boxes tubes... thousands of used
ones, about 10,000 photofaxes and electronics manuals, gobs of capaitors, a
dual trace bk oscilloscope and about 3 tube testers... he was a repair guy
in germany too, worked on MK001 computers with tubes(said there were guys
whose sole job was to walk down the isles of this thing(it was huge) and
replace tubes as they burned out) he says to me, you can take the whole
shop, everything for 2000.00 ... what do yall think?
Sucker bet.
Service grade test equipment has no cash value-VTVMs, signal tracers,
any TV specific stuff. That stuff brings $5 at hamfests. Old scopes
are very very cheap unless they're Teks and even then they are getting
cheap. Only military, AVO or Hickok tube testers have value and no TV
shop had them.
Photofacts-very little value except for vintage audio pieces.
The tubes-they are probably 95% worthless series heater string types.
You can't win with these old TV shop types or their wives.
