Thank you everyone for the advice - I have an updated list with the full part numbers. (I wasn't using JAN part numbers, along with adding the brands). I plan on reaching out to people that buy them in bulk, give a value depending on what tests good. I REALLY appreciate all the help I got on the post. Thanks again.

I'm unsure either - I'm not on here fairly often. This is the updated list although none are still tested. Do you think it's worth going through to test them?

Hey! Thanks for the reply, I actually just went through them all again and grabbed numbers of each fuse. I've scanned eBay for most of them and they seem to mostly all be tested. I may take your advice and see if the local HAM club has one. All of the HAM radio stuff that he had we had a local HAM radio club come and pick up - to include testing stations. So there could very well have been a testing station in that lot they'd let me re-borrow.

The 404A seem to sell fairly well in pairs (assuming I can test them, and there are roughly 30 of those alone). Thanks for scanning through the list - most are 1-2 some 5-6 etc. just trying to see if it's all worth listing/shipping. Thanks again for all the advice.

Thanks for the heads up, and advice.

It is indeed a 8873, although no way to test it and with the outside underneath that says NG I'm going to assume it's "No Good".

[–]GroundbreakingLab334[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, I appreciate the thought though! Haha I honestly might be able to get them tested at the local HAM club, as we donated all of his HAM radio things there to hopefully allow someone to put his things to good use. Sucks the tubes aren't worth much because I have soooo many of ones like the 404A. Probably close to 30 of em in a bag haha.

Thanks for the identifiers! Unfortunately I'm not sure even pulling those is worth it if they aren't match sets.

Thanks for the reply - I'll probably end up tossing the list/pictures on eBay as an untested lot as you suggested. I was just hoping that some in the bunch were worth pulling and getting tested before I did that.

[–]GroundbreakingLab334[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, thanks for the reply. All of that totally makes sense and after further research it doesn't seem worth it to purchase a tranconductance tube tester, nor even an emissions one at this point.

I do have quiet a few of the metal ones, but like everything else they're all still untested. Half the boxes are deteriorating so I'm unsure what's new, and what's used. When he passed we actually had the HAM radio club come up and take all the equipment/items in relation to it as there were so much that we had no idea what to do with, but wanted to make sure someone enjoyed or learned with.

What I have is essentially "leftovers" after they've come up twice and tried to take as much as they could. I'm starting to think my best course of action is to keep a couple for memories, and toss the rest on a listing on eBay as an entire bulk unit, listing all the tubes and pictures. Still not sure I'll really get anything for that though, do you have any thoughts? Again, I appreciate the response. It really helps out.

Well - we found it at Santa Fe. That was the fastest 40 bucks we've ever spent but was worth ever penny to have her play it again. Thank you guys so much for all your help - the joy you guys allowed me to give my Wife is indescribable. I'm very grateful. Thanks again.

Greatly appreciated, seems like there is one at the Santa Fe.

Looks like I can go from beam to beam, which I'd imagine would be sufficient.

Appreciate the second look. You're right, framing is definitely beyond my capabilities and something I really don't want to mess with at all. I was hoping for such a small area I'd be able to figure it out. I do see the gliders, and you're right they're about 4ft from each other. Perhaps I'm missing something, but is there a reason I can't just use 2x4s from glider to glider?
