In Reply to: I might buy some 10 of those RCA 211 just for the fun of it posted by pastito on October 08, 2004 at 15:30:03:
They can run upwards of $200 each in the states. On Ebay, they
might command even higher due to the psychosis over RCA brand name.
Lots of people in Asia would be very interested.If treated well, i.e. not mechanically jarred and run below plate
dissipation, they will last a long, long time.$20, I'd fly to Argentina to buy them. ;)
There are many 211 designs on the Internet to look at. Likewise,
there are many transformer designers with devices SPECIFICALLY
for this tube. The 211 is probably the second speciality for a boutique winder, after the 300B and you will find all kinds of
people with trannies for this tube: Lundahl, Black Art Audio,
Tribute, Border Patrol, just to name a few...After your 2A3 project. ;)

Hell, I'd fly to Argentina just to go through the spot where they're stored. Of course I'd like to keep a few...sounds like a very easy to fund trip south. Hell, I can *DRIVE* to Argentina, even more fun. Diesel is Diesel, just bring plenty of filters, and run number 1 heating oil if need be...It's spring down there isn't it?

But after buying such a big bunch of 6SN7 crap, I wanted to check
it out first...I will ask him how many he is willing to sell. If more than I can
buy I might let you guys know!
If you can really get 211s for that sort of price I'm in! I'll have four please.If you like I can swap you for some Tung-Sol 6SU7GT (one of the best 6SL7s ever made) and / or AWV radiotron 6SN7GT (similarly highly regarded 6SN7). I'll pay postage both ways (To Australia).
what he said. I have about 2 doz of the TS 6SU7GTY. So many I give them to friends...if it is more than you can gather funding for, call me. Email me for my number, we could both make some nice additions to the collection.
regards,
Douglas
