Dekay wins, but this win isn't a win

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.

Real story:

I once missed out on a thrift shop SME 3012 tonearm by a matter of seconds.

Another phile was in the store and grabbed it before I could make my way over.

It was on a JVC deck mounted in a long base plinth (probably came from a local radio station or perhaps A&M Records which had been donating huge volumes of LP’s  @ the time).

It went for $60, .
