16GP4 & 21CEP4 sold already.

Posted multiple times already.

Um, no. Not with the complete inventory. But thanks for chiming in.

Maybe not, but I believe a few had already contacted the seller to see if there was anything worth saving. Phil got one of them, I think.

I think Eric H did too, and so have I now (the 21CEP4) :)
They've relisted them several times and the inventory varies. I don't recall a 16GP4 last time around. Makes me wonder what else might turn up ?

I got the 16GP4.

I never heard back via e-mail and they didn't answer their phone Thursday or Friday, NOW they put up the 21's and hopefully the one I need is still there...

Seller has lots of Can Caps too. See sellers other items.

Yes, I got a 17BP4 from them in December. Very nice.

Caveat emptor on NOS can caps. They might be as funky as any electrolytic that sat in a TV for the same number of decades.

Will a 21AMP4 sub for 21BSP4?

Auction is closed. Didn't answer e-mail or phone again today.

Phil, how much did they charge for shipping?

Heard back from them. Waiting for shipping quote.

The UPS charge for the 17" tube was $15.

They relist the auction everytime a CRT is sold and update the list. There's a shipping quote too. $23.37 to Chicago currently. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-NOS-Silver-Glo-B-W-Television-Picture-Tube-16-17-19-21-23-24-27-/290694256022

It would be interesting to see if that is the case but I'm not willing to part with nine bucks plus to prove it one way or the other. The question being do the old can caps go bad just by sitting there or do the go bad through some years of use and then just sitting there.

From what I've read and experienced they do go bad just sitting on a shelf. Especially if stored in extreme environments. The problem is the electrolyte breaks down or dries out.

It sure looks like it. They are bundled in the same Sylvania data sheet: http://www.bunkerofdoom.com/tubes/syl59/DATA/CRTS/21ACP4.JPG

That satisfied my curiousity, Thanks
(and saved me a few bucks too)

Phil, thanks for the info. He's billing about $43 to ship the 21FLP4 - the only 90-degree one that was left.

I also recently got from them a box of black-jacket Aerovox .5/100 caps just like the one my dad bougt me in (when else) '63. They even have a date code of 6328!

I've bought a couple NOS Can caps and they were fine, check the date codes if you can.

I figure one from the 80's is far more likely to be good than one from the 40's.
