Hi there.
I was hoping you could give some advice on antique radio tubes. I have a lot of them, all used I'm sure.
Numbers like UX 201a, UX 200a, UX 199a, 27, 34, 46, 58, 80, CX 112a, 5Z3, 918, and maybe the best, a Western Electric 216a. I have a lot more numbers, this is just a few of them.
I would like to test them but my Eico and EMC testers don't have these listed on the tube charts, although the testers have the 4, 5 and 6 pin sockets. (a couple of them are listed, like the 5Z3/80).

Hey Loosecannon,
Looks like you have a bunch of goodies there. If Thermionic turns up tell him I'm looking for him too. I have a Zenith Trans - Oceanic that I getting ready to dive into and if I get in over my head, I may need to pick his brain. Also, I wound up with a bunch of old Sam Photofact manuals and wanted to see if he needed a scan of any of it before I list them.
The light at the end of the tunnel will turn out to be an oncoming train.
