Hello,
Strange, I emailed him about it as well. He did mention that it was put
in the mirror so that someone could see both sides.
I thought that was strange, since they were laying down. Meaning, you
would only see a reflection of the same side.
So, maybe it wasn't done on purpose, but
The pins aren't exactly straight on those tubes, either.

$445 for 4, maybe. Like that last auction that closed a day or two ago where
the guy put a mirror up to the two tubes, making it look like there were four
to a casual buyer. That would be quite an ugly surprise when a box of two
showed up for the price of four.

Very strange.

Anyone ever thought of fixing the tubes? I think the hardest part is the
seal between the pins and the glass, and if that part was still intact
(which in many cases it is, because it is the most stable glass part of
the tube), wouldn't it be possible to add a new "cap" to the tube? I.e.

Nick, I encountered a 7% breakage and 2% defect rate. Abysmal. That
may be in line with most who had bought tubes from him in quantity.
Each box "tinkled" when lifted; a little audible treat of what was in
store for the lucky recipient on opening :(
I suspected all the tubes with shattered envelope
Of the shipments I received, I lost about 20, but he always packed
extra to account for "wastage".

Yes, the newspaper was the only packing - the tubes were close packed
in pathetic boxes in batches of 100 or so. It almost made me weep.

Yes there is.
On top right, click on Customer Support
In the search, type in "report shill bidder"
Then click on link "What is shill bidding?'
An explanation comes up with a link to "report it"
it makes you log into your account again.
Then you get to report.
Drop down box - select - Fraudule
Is there a mechanism to report sellers who use shill bidder accounts to drive
up the price of their own auctions?

Jeff,
Yup, noticed that as well. Also, I even emailed the ebay seller without
response.
For my purpose, I was not bidding against his shill bidder since he dropped
off early on, so I was OK with the purchase.

The circuit board is home made. Looks like a couple of traces were
rerouted after it was made.
I will look more into it and post results with my limited knowledge.

One pointer is that they are branded "Ultronic Systems" who made stock
information systems, not the tubes themselves.
A fair assumption is that this is some part of one of their systems.
See the PDF link I posted a few days ago for more on what they did.

I know about the Lectrascan from google searches. They must have been something

Hi,
Only my savings account!
well, I should think so ;-)
I know there are some lucky people here who bought a lot of these tubes
in the 70s and 80s when they were very cheap, that's why I asked. Being
not born back then, I surely missed it. Btw, here's an auction with 12
of these: ebay #19

Regarding Caller ID, one could go to a pure hardware solution and
