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?

Assumed he'd have no idea. I thought he was just trying to get shot of
something he'd had lying around for too long.

Anyway, you lot, it's all very well taking the ****, especially as I'm
so sure none of you has ever had anything similar happen to you at any
stage, and made a rash move at a time of excitement and anticipation....
