Reclamation yard finds, best of the bunch
|
Yesterday driving home from work, I drove past a reclamation yard I hadn't even spotted until then. I decided it worth a quick visit, so pulled over and went in. Stood in a dusty corner was two BC tubes mixed in with a small selection of other tubes. Being pushed for time, I quickly pulled them out along with 6 other tubes, bought them and got them home. It was only when I got them back and cleaned them when I realised I'd stumbled upon some right gems.
The Endura branded BC tubes were the biggest and best surprise of the lot, followed closely by the Thorn Blue tube. The Osram is an early 60's example and has a lovely teardrop wear mark on one end. The Blue and Osram tubes both work perfectly, however the BC tubes still need to be tested. Small issue is all the BC fittings I have are a bit buried atm so it'll be as and when I can be arsed to drag one out.
