I thought only my family was nuts! [Linked Image] My brother-in-law recently described a couple of things he inherited when his dad passed away. He got a huge collection of microphones (his dad was a homegrown 'sound engineer' & took any and every opportunity to be involved in broadcasting or public address set-up). He also got a couple of wooden boxes which contained full and complete sets of vacuum tubes in just about every size and shape known. That alone must be worth a lot!
