Fuck this country.

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.

Kinda.... but they had the original voice actor to choose from. I'm willing to bet Noone has ever said "Oh let's go see the latest Jack Black film"

Well that looks like total fucking shit. Not sure who they made this for, but it's not the fans. Kevin Hart? Jack Black? Fuck sake

I'm a fan of Peter Clines' books. He has an Ex heros series about superheros and zombies, very fun!

Are you one of those moron who points at a garbage man and says, "Stay in school, or you'll end up like him" all the while he's making more than you?
