Looking for burnt-out tubes

This is rather a strange request, but I'm looking to play around with a bunch of varieties of bad tubes so I can make some Steampunk-ish halloween props.

Can anyone suggest where I might best look for bad (intact) tubes? If someone has a neat or large enough variety that they want to get rid of, I'd be glad to pay the fedex charges and give them extra for packaging up the glass.

 

Thanks for reading! :thu:

How many do you need?

Ideally 5 or 6 of a couple of varieties that I can either use intact or cast in silicone and use for reference. I'll be lighting them up with LEDs not unlike cheap "tube sweetening" gear :D

This is what inspired me: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7608402216

But my love for retro gear suggested that I'd appreciate tubes more than making something up from scratch.
