Re: WTB: WG6100 tube

If I was in America, I would LOVE to buy one for this 165. I can understand it
is quit a service to store such an obsolete part and sell it to us Schmoes.

But, the total price to get it to Richardson in the Netherlands, in Amsterdam,
would go up to almost 210 dollars. This is, in Dutch money, about 480 guilders.

A Guilder buys the same amount of parts, and other stuff in Holland as a dollar
does in the USA, making this tube effectively cost me the same as it would cost
you if the charged $480. I know, I've been in New York City once. Your dollar is
%$^$% expensive since they have invented the Euro.
Now how quick would you buy this same tube (rebuilt, this was the only one they
could deliver) for more than double the price?

But what the heck, I'll just probably buy it someday... ;)

Cya !
