Or else rolled them a bit smaller ie: clays

Well the 'shocking' joke was in reference to the capacitors in Tube amps can zap you, even when powered down/unplugged. One of the output channels on my receiver/tube amp isn't working and I wonder if it's worth poking around (with my limited electrical knowledge), take it to a professional, or sell as-is. Since i hold most of the Marble Connection members in high regard, figured if one of them was also a member (or knew of) a good vintage audio forum it would save me some trial and error. Kind of like if I were a member on a car forum (or whatever) and somebody asked me about a good marble site I'd send them here

Don't worry, still a couple pieces we can chat about. Like this ol' blister, might just keep it and clean it up some. Maybe start with the electrical cord? The stories I've heard about tube amps and capacitors are a bit shocking as well (more along the lines what I was looking for input on.)

Very possible! I still appreciate the figure and the level of detail, but this one doesn't look as round. Merry Christmas

Hey guys, thanks for responding. Most of the stuff has now found new owners.

Any fellow marble collectors that can narrow it down, better than a google search? Looking for some input on a couple vintage pieces (tube amp receiver and old turntables to be specific). Something along the lines of a 'Marble Connection' comradery so I don't get lambasted lol

Cool! If that's the case,we'd be talking about a cane that was over 2" diameter and at least 10" long (give or take) . Probably a couple glass workers here that could tell us if that's a reasonable possibility, modern days or otherwise? Assuming of course they are from the same cane. And one of the marbles isn't pictured twice lol.

Cool, I have the first set pictured except red plastic board instead of wood. Similar marbles and box, just different board. Nice group

Where are the color pictures so we can see what rustproof aluminoid looks like?

If not a sulphide, any idea what the original figure was originally meant for?

Similar construction on all three, but the one on the left glows brightly. Haven't seen a cutoff like it on an Akro before, but maybe it is?

Pelt would be my guess.

looking forward to the pics

Pretty cool, don't recall seeing too many of this type, in this size

lol, I guess they are all food-related names aren't they. Thanks for clearing it up about butterscotch swirls vs. caramel swirls.

Yeah, 1 more vote for caramel. The ones I was wracking my brains about are more of a banded opaque or something

not seeing a mist here?

Does this mean CAC didn't make a yellow like this, or they didn't make a yellow that glowed like this?

Venison summer sausage is some of the best I've ever had.

I agree not a gooseberry, or cornhusk. Not so sure about caramel swirl either. Thought those were the opaque custard base with the reddish/brown stripes.

What about the Foreign slags, did any of them have the Uranium glow?

Does "Vaseline" refer to the color of the glass or does it need to glow as well? Largest I could find is 15/16"+ From what I've seen (very limited sample group) CAC slags actually have more of an orange hue under UV

Might not jive with popular opinion but why not "awesome cane-cut German marble"? Any Mica? What I find most interesting about these types is the color palette, lack of core, and construction. Interesting (to me anyways) when compared to those hand gathered/single pontil marbles previously called transitionals/Leightons etc.
