I happened upon an old home entertainment center.... One even older than my memory, although we had something similar. This one was a TV, record player and radio in a cabinet on 6"-8" legs. (Unlike those of the 1970's where the entire cabinet reached the ground.)
Anywho... the back was open and I noticed tubes... a bunch of them. Pulled some from the TV and others from the radio, including single 5Y3 and 12AX7-GT tubes from the radio.
Some of the tubes (in particular, the largest TV tube) are obviously blown. Others look near pristine. Any chance they're worth anything to anyone. (Frankly, I don't own a tube amp so I can't even begin to entertain using them myself. 8^o )
Just thought I'd ask... I considered taking them to a shop to be tested but thought to ask your opinion before wasting time with them. (I have a list of mnfrs and models if you want to know the others. There are about 15 tubes in all, from Zenith, RCA, Raytheon, G.E. & Silvertone. (Which, in fact, was the brand name on the unit. Yes, I'm aware that was simply the Sears store-brand product name.)
Thanks in advance for any info you can provide...
