I recently had the opportunity to purchase a collection of vintage electronics parts, test equipment, vacuum tubes, and technical literature from a decommissioned TV and audio repair service lab. The original owner spent years servicing televisions, radios, and audio equipment, and after his passing, his family carefully preserved the contents of his electronics workshop.
In this video, I’ll share what I purchased and why, including vintage Howard W. Sams electronics books, specialized test equipment, capacitor testers, RF transformers, NOS electronic components, and hard-to-find replacement parts for vintage audio repair and restoration.
At the bottom of the tote is a collection of vacuum tubes, including popular audio types like the 12AX7, 12BH7, 6L6GC, and 6V6. I’ll be sorting and testing these tubes during my first-ever YouTube livestream to see if there are any hidden gems. Subscribe and turn on notifications to join me!
