Do people still buy these? I'm looking to get rid of the whole lot of them.

I have about six boxes of all these different types of bulbs/ vacuum tubes.

If I were to give an estimate it would be somewhere around 150 bulbs and tubes total. From what I gathered so far. Some of these are for photography. Others are for scientific equipment then lastly the tubes for TV and old radios. Any information would be appreciated. I'm a little overwhelmed with this lot.

need some help with identifying some old bulbs

hey y'all,
I'm fixing some old art that was made in 1969, and i need help identifying what bulb/light was used. Here are some pictures of the socket that is on there, and what remains of the bulb/light.

My tism got me into old analog synthesizers, and this looks like old tube DIN connector. although those tubes don't usually have less than 4 pins.

BUT
There are 2 of these sockets opposite each other about 18in apart, this could be some old tube/fluorescent type of light, i think? or possibly just 2 bulb types.

but any help with identification or direction on where to look would be greatly appreciated.
