I am in need of four (4) type VT-4-C / 211A vacuum tubes
for display only. "Dud" tubes would be just fine as long
as they look OK. These will be installed in the BC-375-E
transmitter that is on display in the exhibit hall at our
Museum hangar. That radio will eventually be installed in
the radio compartment of our B-17G Flying Fortress bomber.
I am looking for a donation here, and once again I stress
that I'm NOT looking for good tubes because they are only
for display. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit aviation museum,
and all donations are tax-deductible. Can someone help us
out with 1, 2, 3, or 4 tubes?


The 211A is in current production by a number of manufacturers, and
the high end audio guys really like them. You might try asking on
rec.audio.high-end if anybody has any pulls.


You may be forced to use Chinese ones, mind you, but that is probably
fine.


Ahhh... From The Flying Tigers quartermaster's stock.
