They even covered this clown's listing on Unknown Highway.Com. I couldn't believe it! I just pray that he doesn't find a buyer as clueless as he is in regards to vacuum tubes. It's sure to become a classic on all of the musician and vintage electronics geek talk boards.

Gah, wish I'd caught this earlier, it's flagged now. I was going to e-mail the guy and ask if he put the vacuum back in when he was done cleaning them.

At least he should have used a vacuum cleaner. Everyone knows that.
