Default Re: When an interest in valves becomes out of control without realising!

Err EF80, about 100+ all used! My air rifle was stolen, so it would have been less!
I have about 10 maybe Mullard, NOS boxed.
Been looking at ebay prices (completed) of various stabilisers and certainly most are not cheap!
I think maybe less than 1% of my total stabilisers should fulfill my future needs if I am honest.
But, I don't like parting with such things, but will have to....very soon! IF i sell most now, when I DO want actually want one or two, if I am not carefull it could cost me dearly.
My same reasoning makes me hang on to maybe 10,000 resistors and 2,000 caps! Maybe 500+ pots and a few 100 switches as well.
Larger equipment, I still have my un-restored Ekco AD65, a lovely Marconi 42 "Cathedral" rx plus an ex RAF TR1196F that need some attention. Then there are 3x R1155 in various states as well as a 52 set rx, loads of USA Command gear as well!
However, my greater interest in my model railway needs may make the choice easier for me. But then, I already have 40+ locos!! Luckily, I am not on a model railway forum with the same dilemma!
