Today's haul.

1981 Bell Installation & Repair Manual Book
4 Northern T/T Phones
H.H. Renneke Beige Shoulder Rest
2 test cards from the 1900's
1 Taiko dial dated 65-3 Made in Japan.

I also picked up this vacuum tube.  Eimac VT129/304TL for $2.00

Those Japanese dials were used in the domestic Japanese phones as well as many of the imitation Danish phones which were exported in the 1960s/70s.  They look very much like AE dials, but they are a bit larger and will not fit into North American phones.

Thanks John,

Just what I was looking for.

That should make a nice bed warmer on a cold winter night.

Crank up that filament to 12 A, and give it a few hundred volts of anode voltage to chew on...  a small toaster.

These things go for crazy prices on eBay. I'm thinking that is where it may end up.

Well, not WE tube crazy. A few have sold on eBay for $20 to $40 plus shipping and this one, NIB, sold for $55 with shipping.

Do you have a tube tester to check it's quality for potential buyers if you are going to sell it?

No way of testing it. I would post it as-is for $9.99
