Hello -- I recently acquired a 1920s-era battery radio that is now at
home on display near my Apollo player piano and rolls. The tubes in
this radio are prominently visible, so I think it would be interesting
to have some QRS "Red Top" radio vacuum tubes to display in the radio.
In my opinion, it would make for a cool blending of the mechanical
music company with the world of radio in that era.
Specifically I would like to find some reasonably priced type 200
or 201A tubes by QRS, as these are the ones that will fit my radio.
If the tubes are still in the box, these are most likely labeled as
"Detector and Amplifier" or "Super Detector", even if the numbers
are not marked on the tube or the box. I would prefer that they be
functional tubes, but will consider display-only tubes that are dead
if the price is commensurate.
If anyone has some of these tubes they would be willing to sell at
a reasonable price, please contact me. It is a 5-tube radio, but
I will consider any quantity. Attached is an image I found online
for reference; I do not have any of these tubes myself to photograph.
Thank you and best regards,
Troy Taylor
