Look at this thing here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/264735963744

The prize is a bit crazy, and it doesn't even work, but it sure looks like one of a kind!

Cheers

Jens

Well, apparently it's over half a meter long. Given the fact that a CD47 sells for $1,000 and is around 20cm tall, the resulting price of $2,500 is extrapolated perfectly ;-)

Seller didn't even mention that it looks like a glass fuse. That's the neatest part of it, I think

Ahhh, but $1000 is for a working CD47.

Seller clearly has had one too many frontier beers.

I'm with Michail... for a non working tubes that's pretty ridiculous! If it was working it would be really neat though!

Only $2k for something that doesn’t work. The best deals come to those that wait. 😊
