It's one of those "special" based tubes requiring a special adapter to test!
"It worked last time it was used"? Dead people walked when they were ALIVE!:banana:

Pffftt!

I dare anyone to find a way to test it! If they can it will be a miracle, if not at least it might be amusing to watch. LOL

Well the price has been dropped to $99.99, and it's listed "For decoration purposes only"

Just what every Decorator need to go with the Heywood Wakefield furniture, a Mid Century CRT dud. :D

Saw the end off,fill it with water,add some flowers and you've got a dandy vase!

George, I had one like that when I was teenager! 10BP4 that I found in the woods, busted neck. Great display piece that I wish I still had-my Dad made me throw it out because he was worried I'd cut myself on the edges.

I have a few dud 7JP4's that I was going to make Lamps out of, not sure how to drill a hole in one though.

GeorgeJetson 03-17-2011 10:50 PM

A pair of picture tube lamps would be interesting!
I'm not sure how you would be able to drill a hole either.
Maybe you could use a torch or something that would get hot enough to melt a hole in the glass?

They make special glass/ceramic drill bits. I worked at a pottery place for my first job, and so many people would buy a piece from us, and ask us to drill a hole so they could wire it for a lamp. This in spite of the fact that we sold our pottery in lamps as well.

You ought to save those 7" tubes there are not many left and with luck ETF will start rebuilding them one of thiese days.
