The question is ... will that Russian tube still work, if the chip is lying at the bottom
of the bell, or was it a necessary part of the gun? A fine example of Stalinist
technology.

I got a 5BP4 this morning from Fair Radio. It was packed in a non-box
made from random pieces of cardboard (five of them) taped together, barely
big ennough to contain the tube which was held in with crumpled packing paper!
Argggghh. However, it works like new (Finally! are really good one) and was
only $51. My TT-5 is now watchable.
