Only a week to go. Hope you've all got lots of goodies for us on the Bring and Buy. I hope Jeremy will post the booking in form so you can list the items you want to sell on commission before the show. If you have more than 2 or 3 items this can save a lot of time and effort when you bring them to the stall. Items you are donating don't need any labels etc.

While tidying up I've found some interesting historic valves. Don't think I'm interested in them any more but I reckon they're worth a fair bit. There are 4x Audion DV2, one its original metal tin. This is the sales blurb that's going on the B&B stall:

DeForest Audion DV2 valves

These are probably from 1925 though they were made for a number of years. All with good filaments.
3x unboxed £30 each, all 3 for £75
1x in original tin can £50
All 4 for £115

Also a NOS Ediswan ARDE, the red line version:

Ediswan ARDE valve
 
This rare valve is probably from 1923. NOS, with seal on pin to prove it hasn’t been used. Good filament. This info from: http://www.r-type.org/exhib/aaj0058.htm
 
The ARDE from Ediswan was introduced in 1923 as a general purpose valve. The ARDE stands for Amateur Radio Dull Emitter and was advertised as a low temperature valve. Ediswan made three versions of the ARDE. The general purpose without additional paint stripes. The red line for RF and Detector use and the green line for Detector and AF use.
 
£80

Am I aiming high or underselling myself?

Also found 3x assorted grid leaks, a Wilkins and Wright 1920s lever switch BNIB and a couple of "Apaco" 9ct gold cats whiskers in their sealed original packets.

Still wondering how I'll get all the stuff in the car, though I did sell a couple of things to a friend recently.
