Don't see many of those on ebay.

Isn't that the one that used subminiature tubes? The one I'm thinking of
was pretty fancy, I never saw one up close, but I thought it did. And while
getting tubes doesn't seem to be a problem, subminiatures might be given
they never saw the same useage even in the old days.

It had about 65 tubes, came in two parts and was a horror to maintain.
There is absolutely no good reason to mention it in this thread, I am
afraid :-). The Navy did not like its performance either. It does
sometimes come up for sale, but not at any high price. Postage and
Packing problems means that it is not a typical ebay item.
