So I won my first Ebay auction. I quite fancied an old valve radio. It
came
today. It's a Philips "B2G25U". (Catchy name.)

No real fault of the seller's, I suppose, but it arrived with 3 of its
4 valves out of their sockets, and rattling around in the box, but
unbroken.
But I had no way of knowing which one went into which socket, so had to
try and guess.

Wrong!

Duh, why didn't you ask the seller which tube went in which hole?
