"Walking around Akihabara" by Taro Akiba
Since I came down at the station in Akihabara by train, and when I came out of the ticket gate immediately, the light rain had fallen just for a moment, so I entered into the radio department store and my eye caught the vacuum tube shop's window.

When I wanted to buy the vacuum tube of 6SN7, and I looked into some shop, I want four TEN (It was the dead stock about 40 of years before), I bought.
The price was 500 yen each(That is a low price rather than the price I thought.) If we bought that made in China or made in Russia, it is about 1000 yen, 2000 yen (for four )was very inexpensive.

When I decided to buy, the visitor who was in the inside, surprised because 500 yen is very cheap. The man of a shop said only the inside of this box. In the box, about 50 pieces were here and all of them are about 40 years. When I bought them, other visitor also bought them and about half of them sold rapidly.
In Akihabara town, the time of finding it is now buying it, but if I want to buy, it does not know whether be or not. But it may come again. Especially the vacuum tube store, you had better go whether you buy or not, That is the town of Akihabara.
Next I want to buy. Sylvania 6V6 tubes and Daruma tubes in Europe, When I return, I stop at Hi-Fi-Do and I talked to the shop manager,
I will Immediately tell you if it comes, he said. I am pleasure to use it.
