The big triodes for the BC-610 (250TH, I think) are notoriously fragile in this respect - the glass envelope survives but they arrive with internal shorts. Best regards, Chris. |

You know Chris, the package arrived with no damage to the box and the tube was packed very well inside. I didn't check the tube over all as it looked fine to me. But it came on for a nano second and then POOF ...it went dead. This tube to buy in the USA is $100.00 plus, plus shipping. The one in Ukraine was $10 bucks. As the saying goes..."sometimes too good to be true!"

Which valve/tube was it? (I tend to stockpile spares for the sets I have.) Best regards, Chris. |

Chris: Thanks for the offer, but I think we're talking 2 different radios. The one I'm referring to a Telefunken 5080 and it's the "Magic Eye" valve. I'll dig out the code number of you want.
Many thanks......Robert ![]() |

No Need: I don't have any Telefunken valves in the parts collection, I'm afraid, so definitely can't help with that one.

Going back to the cloth socks: maybe they were to prevent finger prints contaminating the glass surface. Lighting technicians are very careful not to leave finger prints etc when changing high power light bulbs. The contamination may affect the glass. I think halogen bulbs in typical work lights are to be handled carefully too.
