    Yes. The only valves of interest might be the EF184s - they're used as the input pentode in the Radford STA100 design.

    Actually, I think I have a box (smaller) of TV valves.

    Mostly EHT rectifiers and efficiency diodes with many other TV valves in there as well. The EF184 is a great valve and under used IMHO. The PC88, PCL86 and PCF82 have audio potential but only to diy-ers as they are not 6.3V heaters. Only some of the ones with no obvious audio use are good makes like Mullard or Mazda it seems...
