Post a picture... any picture

Box full of pulls.

Those smoky ST-envelope octals look interesting... maybe unsuffixed 6V6 (I am pretty sure there were big (ST) bottle 6V6 early on), maybe 6B4 (the octal based morph of the 2A3), maybe 6L6G(???) I am trusting my memory here (which is like trusting, you know, someone really untrustworthy).

I see a few 5U4 (well, at least one).
There are some 6AU6 Useful & widely used, but dime-a-dozen as plinkers (i.e., used).
At least one 12AT7.
Not sure about the small glass & metal octals -- most do not appear to be twin triodes (e.g., 6SN7, 6SL7, etc.) -- maybe some are 6J5 (i.e., half-a-6SN7)... not sure.

Looks like several of the octals have the keyways broken off, and one of the big metal tubes (maybe unsuffixed 6L6?) has bent pins.

This is not a box of tubes that has been coddled.

All in all -- looks like a $10 box of tubes to me -- but, given the current tube situation, maybe a respectable downpayment for a nice home in the Silicon Valley

I never until today realized how future-proofed those old car radio/cassette decks were.

things that make one go hmmmmm...

I guess it was from April 2020. We all needed a little levity roundabout then.
