Now those are some TOOBS!
Try to shoehorn a couple into your chassis and see what happens.

Tell your employer to just give you all the NOS 12AX7, EL84, EL34, 6L6, 6V6, and other guitar related types.

You could just say, "These old things? Why, they're just taking up space. See, there's dust on the boxes... I'll just take 'em off your hands for you."
