Hi Andy, The Grafton sale was the Barry Coleman estate. Barry and I are local and used to butt heads at the auctions. I know he had a bunch of tubes and parts such as interstage transformers as I saw him buy them on several occasions, (he had deeper pockets). I was at the estate sale held a month before the auction and at the auction and the tubes and parts were gone then. I suspect that “vultures” find out about an impending sale and pounce ahead of time.
Ed.
