I'm having a hard time believing it's not a prank.

 

[jilgiljongiljing]

Lol, that was awesome.

 

[limpidglitch]

So, anyone pulling an 'airy'-joke?

 

[Nick 214]

That has to be a joke. Removing the glass would cause one heck of a shock...

NK

It was taken down from craigslist. Apparently a joke, but I never got to see the page.

heres the text from AK:

Hi i have 8 7591 vacuum tubes that were new old stock, i tested these in a scott amplifier and worked well. I carefully removed the glass on each tube to clean both sides as all the tops had silver inside blocking view of tubes light now the tubes have no glass but may still work. asking 50.00 each.

followed by several pictures of glassless vacuum tubes.

That has to be a joke. Have you ever tried to open a vacuum tube without shattering it?

My guess is that the guy had one that burned out and he opened it up for a little fun.
