Claim-It: Buying and Selling on VCF's Discord channel #for-sale and website
by Jeffrey Brace 14 Aug '26

14 Aug '26

Hi everyone, Dave Shevett, a long time member of VCF created a new system that hooks into VCF's Discord channel #for-sale and on a website. What is ClaimIt? ClaimIt is a website / app that allows for communities to give away / sell items in a localized, friendly, topic-focused way. It's not meant as a replacement for Facebook or ebay or craigslist, but it's a way for a specific community to publish and sell items to friends and acquaintances who have similar interests. He is regularly working on the application, and he has a Discord server/setup that he's happy to invite you to where you can give honest feedback and bug reports (or use the bug tracker). What should you do if you want to participate? Check out the VCF community here: https://claimit.cc/?page=community&id=4. By default, new listings in that community will publish on #for-sale. Enjoy! Jeff Brace VCF National Board Member Chairman & Vice President

Possibly OT: vintage vacuum tubes question
by Bob Shuster 10 Aug '26

10 Aug '26

In going through my FIL’s things I came across a box with a few hundred vacuum tubes, most just loose in the box. For reference, my FIL was a PhD electrical engineer who worked at RCA - on NASA and other projects - but also liked to build his own speakers and amplifiers. I do not have a tester and in fact my electrical knowledge starts with transistors. I don’t want to give these away - I’m sure he spent hundreds if not more on them - but I also don’t want to go through the process of packing them all for shipping. There are some monster 13cm x 5cm tubes down to smaller c. 5cm tubes. I will lay them out and take photos and try to do some ID, but does anyone have any thoughts on these - or perhaps any interest? - Bob Shuster
