Anyone here collect vacuum tubes? I collect audio, radio and some early tubes.

I was collecting tubes for a while, mostly interested in those made during the 1920s or just before, but I scaled back greatly a few years ago. Collecting audio tubes sounds like an expensive hobby :-) The prices for certain Western Electric tubes I've seen is unbelievable. So I assume you're an audiophile too? Here was one of my favorite pieces I sold off a while back:

Wow, that's a pretty bit of gear!
I collect tubes and light bulbs
With tubes I collect Audio and also very old "Pretty or interesting" tubes
Lights is fairly new for me as I hadn't really come across many, but I have a few Aerolux tyes, Geissler or Crookes tubes and some circa 1890's carbon filament types.
