Its a long drive :)

220 miles (approx), nothing for a fit squash player. :lol:

I'm going to a funeral in West Yorkshire tomorrow, 180 miles each way. Going early and coming back late.

No sweat, and I'm OLD. :wink:

PS When I go to Owston I go via Lincoln and Barnetby le Wold, and that is about 220 miles as well. :)

Yes. Please take the mothballs out of your pockets before you leave this time and make sure your nurse stays away from Mr The Bass :D

2 x 801A (RCA about 50 hours use) Reserved

2 x 6B4G (USA about 100 hrs use) Reserved

4 x Mazda AC/P1 (globe, about 80 hrs use)

2 x Mazda AC/P (globe, never used)

4 x Marconi ML6 (ST shape, white ceramic base, about 100 hrs use)

2 x Cossor 41MTL mesh plate (ST shape about 50 hrs use ) Reserved

I'll price these up later, but I won't be asking silly money.
Is there enough interest to bring them? If not I won't take up space in the car with them.

I have an interesting selection of sub-miniature "rocket" pencil valves - good to 1000G some of them (yes, one thousand G). Designed for use in rockets & artillery shells but excellent sonically too - these are the absolute pinnacle of valve technology - the very best military-spec devices... they'll take a 450G impact and not fail :) Quantities from low 10s to several 100s of each. Make excellent pre-amps, head-fi & small desktop power amps. Also, all these tubes go through a completely ridiculous acceptance test which would destroy any normal valve...

I've got a couple of 5744 in my TDA1541 dac. :)

Are they classed as nu-vista valves ?

No. They're all wire-ended.
