The one that got away

Ok, so if we are on Audiogon, we probably are not afraid of used gear. For many of us I suspect we recall "the one that got away"

For me it was a pair of Marantz 10b tuners. $1200 for both of them. What was I thinking? 

What was yours?

12 master cases of Western Electric engraved base 300B tubes.

12 x 144 = 1,728 tubes.

The guy was asking $5/master case.

OK:

The first version of this “story” goes that I did buy them, but as my amps use 2A3’s I decided to hammer them into little bits and add them to the concrete I was mixing for the back patio - to make is sparkly -w- black specks.

In the second “version” I again purchase tubes only to whack the tops off with a hammer in order to super glue them (jagged side up) to the top of the wall surrounding my compound - to keep the Paparazzi out.

The first version is probably my favorite.
