Yeah ... Kriegsmarine, Nazi Navy.shhhA gentleman in Belgium located them in France for me, still new in the box. The tubes say Kriegs Marine on them, I believe that is the spelling.

What a showoff. Finnegan is there to guard the rack of Melz 1578 tubes visible in the top foto, That rack is worth about 1/3 of the cost of all the other gear. And, you can't bribe him with sardines or anchovies.I absolutely do not have one, I have several. Solid cherry with copper supports. This is my main system.

I also had a Russian friend tell me the military always got the best of everything as far as tubes. I have some from the Russian navy as well, based on RCA power tubes since as I recall we sold them some manufacturing capabilities in the 30's? Someone will know this better than me but the Russian winged C's closely resemble the RCA 6as7g's.

Yes, @Paladin79 and @bcowen probably picked it clean before it even surfaced.Been to Suomemlinna, Finland, there is a Finnish U boat there, on land, found a lot of German made things inside, but no tubes .... May be Paladin already been there 40 years ago .....
Can only saw a torpedo tube.

LOL you are close, now that tube phono pre-amp that Sir Cowen assembled is priceless, I probably added value to it when I connected the phono ground for him. The speakers are not showing, that is where the real money is.

So, you never returned it after you repaired it?

he is a great looking cat I will admit.
By changing the length of those copper columns, I can change the height of any shelf, I made plenty of extras. The process to get that patina only takes a day and I have done a lot of it.

Steelcase FTW. https://www.crandalloffice.com/ is a good rebuilder of many nice brands - still far from cheap but a good source if you don’t have good local 2nd hand market and can’t swing full retail.

Nope I am still "borrowing" it, I did return a Cary pre-amp that had an issue that occurred when he shipped it to me. He knows I have it and if I ever need to send it back I can always get an add on card for the PrimaLuna.
