Ok, who can fix this tube if I buy it?

I still have that WTF look on my face! People think just because its "vintage" it just has to be worth something! lol

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mullard-Blackburn-EL37-R61-BOE-Vintage-Vacuum-Tube-for-repair-only-/111585646231?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19fb05d697&afsrc=1&rmvSB=true

"Up for sale here is this vintage Mullard Blackburn EL37 vacuum tube. It has the date code R61 BOE.

This tube looks perfectly good to me, and has plenty of silver on the side, but it does not test at all. I tried to test it in my B&K 747B, but it would not light up or read at all. I used a multimeter to test the pins for continuity and they all read "open line" from pin to pin. The base is nice and solid, and everything looks good physically. There is nothing loose inside the tube. I tried heating the pins with my soldering iron to see if re-flowing the solder would help, but it did nothing. Perhaps you could get it apart and fix it? This is an extremely nice tube if you can get it to work. However, please be aware that this tube is currently NON-WORKING and is being sold as-is for parts or repair. Please see my pictures for details.

US shipping and handling is $6, and international is $12. I accept Paypal. If you have any questions, please ask.

I have a number of other cool items, collectibles, Magic cards, and vintage electronics listed--feel free to take a look!"

    If I rubbed my dingus on it that would fix it.
