I was posting about a tube amp earlier this morning and it got me thinking. I was at a garage sale a few months ago from a gentleman who was really into old tube radios. Since lots of the tubes can be interchanged, i remembered somewhat of an unsolved mystery. Maybe it can be solved on here.
As i hunted throughout the garage/shop, i found one item i couldn't identify. Pics were sent off to my brother but he didn't have a clue which suprised me because he rebuilds military radios for fun. After seeing Western Electric caps, and what they sell for & possible uses, i dug up the pics again to check but they are obviously not WE.
The "items" are painted grey with a aluminum badge across the front. Some are classified as "A, B, C, or AB, etc" The backsides have individual sheetmetal covers that house some sort of electrical component.
If anybody can identify what these things are, and if they hold any significance to audio equipment, ill go back and get them all. I seem to recall there being many boxes of them, all NOS!
sorry for the crappy pic. I was in rush and figured this was all i needed for my brother to make an ID.
