Any interest in *new* 16AP4's?

[miniman82]

I just found out that RACS may be able to build brand new 16AP4's, but need to see if there's any interest out there.

Here's the skinny:

RACS does radar tubes for the military, but these have a special phosphor on them. Since they are the same metal shell tube having the same dimensions as a 16AP4, I asked if they could put P4 phospor in them. The answer is yes, not only that they have brand new ones ready for building (about 6).


The electron gun would be straight (so no ion trap), and the tube would be aluminized. If you would be interested, reply here and state the amount you'd be willing to pay for such an item. RACS is closing soon and whatever isn't used will be recycled, so it only makes sense to make use of what we can before that time.
