Yes, absolutely trash. I'll take them off your hands.

Should I wrap them up safe or just toss in a box with these old pickups?
Feeling like they may be junk, too since all they did was apply for a patent.

Most of those getters look suspect, not seeing much silver.

Suspect how?
They're all legitimate and have diamonds on the bottom and made well before pre counterfeit era.
Just super dusty. Was just making a joke acting dumb.

I mean that I normally expect to see the tops of the pre-amp tubes silvery-looking from the metallic coating on the inside:

Maybe it's just the picture, or maybe the getter is placed somewhere not in view, but I don't see it on most of those tubes, they look either frosty or translucent:

The two on the left I can kinda see it:

I'm probably preaching to the choir, but if the getter is gone or frosted my understanding is that it indicates the tube vacuum is compromised or soon to be. Maybe it's just the dust.

Probably just combination of the dust and my camera was acting weird and only would focus on 0.5 zoom. Maybe because my battery was at less than 5%, dunno. Mostly just thought it was an interesting find going through random boxes. Believe some of the others on the upper left are GE branded mullards, but will go back through them tomorrow. The PAF pic is just one I got off the internet to add to the joke, don't actually have those :ROFLMAO:
