Radio Tube Lamp Collection http://www.floydfolks.org & http://www.littlefamilyfarm.com 1-540-808-2880 - floydlcfgroup@gmail - PO box 179 Floyd,Virginia 24091---Antique Vacuum Radio Tube Lamp Collection-1.Lightening arrester. When clouds were charged, these charged particles of rain would come down and hit the antenna. The neon light inside the arrester would flicker showing the charged rain particles were going to ground. The "ooh-ah" factor.
2.Amprex tube dated 1963. From a transmitting tube. In consider the pin configuration quite unusual.
3.World War II field can opener.
A pocket slip stick (slide rule). Accuracy to 2 decimal places.
World War II tubes used in one of the first handy-talkies. The tubes were physically wired to cut down on corrosion and rough handling. The batteries that supplied power were referred to as house bricks because of their weight.
4.Photocell tube that was used in a movie projector. Made 1959 30th week.
Triode of unknown use.
No known use. It was selected because it reminded mo of a UFO. The pins were soldered in a socket.
7.This was purchased at a Flee Market in Geronimo, OK. It is an iron wire commercial power insulator. We think it was hit by lightening. I have never seen one like this before. When handling use extreme caution because I feel one hard drop it will break into pieces. If you take your finger and rub over the surface you will feel that the crazing of the glass is all interior as the inside and outside is smooth. There is a chip on the edge which is sharp.
8.¾" cathoray tube used in possible a transmitter where the balancing of the output has to be in phase.
9.Triode vacuum tube is a true experimental model. I feel this glass envelope at one time was an incandescent light. I believe it is called an Illuminline. These lights ere used in show cases where the filament was extended for the full length of the lamp. Notice that the plate and grind appear to be hand wound. And the filament is strictly a straight wire. There is even a gitter at the base of the tube.
10.Vacuum capacitor
11.Telephone insulator
12.World War II Breast microphone. The web goes around the neck to keep both hands free.
13.The blue glass does not make a better tube. It was a sales pitch.
14.Same
15.Pentode vacuum tube (Raytheon)
Triode by RCA
16.Unknown 8012
17. 120v neon lamp
Metallic coating is to keep the tube from heterodyning (feed back squeal)
18.Triode 30
Unknown tube
19.Very old neon lamp 120v-

@mysciencenow Thanks - I really do have a huge amount of very old tube myself and most likely will not every have much time to do anything with them. This was a nice gift to our historical effort in electronics.
