Message: <blockquote data-quote="1Mudman" data-source="post: 3853519" data-attributes="member: 51234"><p>Not to change the subject but I had two controlled deliveries with Guitar Amp Vacuum Tubes a couple of years ago. A USPS truck and a delivery man I have never seen in 17 years at this address. Showed up late in the evening with a arm full of mail and asked for a signature. Then he realized it was no sig required. Then he asked to use my bathroom! I let him use the bathroom that had a couple of reloading manuals on the shelf below the hand towel cabinet and just BS'd for a minute. Sure enough a couple weeks later he showed up with another little box of tubes from the UKRAINE. Asked to use the bathroom again. Its 1800 hrs in the evening. This time I let him in my music room were I had a couple of amps and guitars tore down waiting on parts I havent seen him since but this was pre-covid, pre Ukraine invasion. Tubes were NOS Russian Military Jet and Missile tubes from the Cold War. They have 10K to 15K hours of life and built very rugged, very quite without noise and I could get them for $5 to 8 bucks delivered. They were called the Russian Generals retirement plan as there was supposedly warehouses of them in storage. I thought If this raised a flag to them I wonder what powder or primers would do? Im kinda of scared of ordering those Items and having them delivered. Swat team do the delivery?</p></blockquote><p></p>
