Now those are some TOOBS!
Try to shoehorn a couple into your chassis and see what happens.
Actually, they're part of a historical museum exhibit my employer put together for an event.
Thought you might get a kick out of that big m-f'er.

Tell your employer to just give you all the NOS 12AX7, EL84, EL34, 6L6, 6V6, and other guitar related types.

You could just say, "These old things? Why, they're just taking up space. See, there's dust on the boxes... I'll just take 'em off your hands for you."
