Pridurok.

Moron.

He owned a lot of them and sold a lot of tubes every month, generating revenue. Not sure how much, but with solid state becoming more popular, the amount kept going down, so he sold. Not sure who the German company sold to, but I assume they went to a country that was behind the curve on technologies and still had a large number of tube electronics in service.

Cleaning out the shop one day, we found a bunch of the old tubes. I kept some and mocked up a display but never finished it.

I used to work at a TV repair shop, and the owner owned a lot of these in the surrounding 6 states. In the 80s, he sold them all to a German company for something like 1M, and the German company turned around and resold them for something like 6M 3 months later.

Roku has composite out (yellow, white, red) to a RF modulator and coaxle out of modulator to the tv on channel 3 or 4.
