About
I can hardly believe it has been 23 years. In the beginning, people were buying and selling for fun, prices were outstanding, shipping was low and ebay fees were small. It was easy to search creatively and find bargains and former Soviet Union things were abundant and cheaper than onions. Today, the only thing that remains the same is that if you try hard, you can occasionally find a bargain. I buy less and am now selling, with nearly the same joy, the things I once bought here. Vacuum tubes and camera lenses traveled across continents to me, and now they travel again. Somebody should make a movie about the haunted camera lens that is sold and resold like a hot potato as it makes its Cohen-esque vision quest around the globe. It could be like a straighter version of Naked Lunch melded with...Ansel Adams' favorite fascist Goerz Golden Dagor 12" (305mm) lens for the Mujahadeen typewriter. Throw in a bewitched iconoclastic Kodak Ektar and a magically whimsical brass Petzval for spice.

- *****- Feedback left by buyer.More than a year agoVerified purchaseEach item inside a #6 envelope, taped to a file folder with blue painter's tape. Also included IBM advertisement and an old postcard. Shipping packaging was a heavily taped manila envelope.Reply from: ozarque- Feedback replied by seller ozarque.- Feedback replied by seller ozarque.I am glad you received the vacuum tube modules and bonuses in good order. Were you completely satisfied? As seen by my packaging, a personal touch was also included. Buyers are not just a number on a list to me and I am happy to be a selling a few artifacts in my amateur fashion. Soon, the only few modules I have remaining will be of poor condition.

It describes item appropriately.
Appears to be good. Not tested yet.

It is a good title. Very concise in its sparing and unusual use of words of correct meaning.,
The joy in revealing the inner holdings of the card was SD in smiling appearance. Therein contained fresh blooming virginal hot muffins in golden showers of cascading sparks. Many happy findings were exposed surprisingly revealing that an errant SD card was placed into the card reader containing a message from an apocalyptic future in which a computer programmer is trying to debug and reboot the future failed state and its damaged computers. I complied with the request in the readme.file and buried a metal type audio cassette containing the IBM code from 1970 in a lead-lined mason jar in Nebraska where it was apparently retrieved at the appropriate time in the future, since you are reading this. It is my fervent hope that in your coming adventures you are met by tidings of central joy and that all the anxious moments pursuant to the occasion of lower fulfillment will hit, but sparingly. Do not forget that over your hogshead lies the ghost of good grandfather imprisoning bad and forgotten ancestory.

After a cleaning, reassembly, oiling and heat, this thing loosened up and is ready to tun. The piston top is still shiny, so it has almost no run time
