The important thing is 'reasonable money' - they are easy to get at high prices!
How much did you have to pay/
Andy
Hi Andy, yes NOS Mullard octal Magic eyes seem to attract high prices.
The one I won is an Osram Y63 NOS in original box, £7.50 I think it was + P&P, I say I think because my wife paid for it!
The same seller still has a NOS Osram Y65 up for auction for the same money more or less at the time of writing.
Eventually I will get some repacement valves for the rest of the R1155, the ones in there work ok but test more on the low side of normal, when I replace them I will slip some thin nylon line under the base to aid future exctraction!! I'm sure you know what I mean. Normally I shove the blunt end of a pencil against the spigot from underneath to aid extraction but there are a couple where the spigot hole is blocked by components. I suspect that the AGC response might be a bit out also, I will wait for the valves then have a look into it.
By the way did you receive my Email regarding R1082 circuit etc?
Lawrence.
