Guilty as charged! I hoard vacuum tubes, and ammunition. At 65 years old I’ve calculated the amount I’ll need of both for a guesstimated life span and made multiple purchases. Living in California it’s also prudent to stock up on items that are banned and/or heavily taxed. Now before passing judgment as you all will, I purchased my items to consume in a normal manner of usage, and not to speculate and turn a profit. I’ve been into firearms and tubes for 55 years. I remember buying guns and ammo at the hardware store and the self serve RCA tube tester with the lower cabinet stocked with new tubes at the Thrifty Drug Store. I do wish I’d bought some KT 150’s to try. I added the ammo and California to this for simple illustration, please do not go political and ruin this fine man’s thread. Regards , Mike.
