My interests are primarily NOT valve equipment, but other vintage electrical equipment.
I therefore sold almost my entire (modest) supply of valves.
A large box of "pulls" from scrapped TV sets fetched £25 for the lot.
A much smaller box of NOS TV valves fetched another £25.
More interesting were some large rectifiers, these have a screw base like an electric lamp for the directly heated cathode and a top cap connection to the anode.
1 amp, 6,000 volts. Heater many amps at 4 volts.

A neighbour paid a very good price for these.
