(How many technicians or shops were buying/requesting NEW tube caddies in 1976? )
I have seen three of them. One back in the 80s a TV shop owner had. He didn't have a need for it but got it because he thought it would be worth something later. It looked brand new. Another one about a year or so ago, A retired TV shop owner. He said he wanted to sale out but he wouldn't tell me what he wanted for anything. The last one was the one I got. Its probably the nicest tube caddy I have. This makes 5 tube caddys I have now. I even have a small tungsol that has the repairman on it.
