Discarding Mercury Tubes?
Does anyone have a good procedure for discarding 'blown'
mercury-filled tubes? I have a few 811, 817, and 807s (some good, some not), and an un-id (think 807-size) unit that has a pool of mercury in it as well as a nice splatter pattern inside the glass. The glass and the base are in decent shape (no cracks) so it makes an interesting conversation piece ("hey, hook it up on a tester and lets see what happens!" are, unfortunatley, common...) but I am concerned about safe disposal of the sucker. Find a toxic dump, a local ham who collects them?? (I won't ship the blown tube). Thanks, -arg |
