adhoc 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) Hello all, I’m regrettably releasing some tubes that I will likely never use. These tubes are the good ones culled from countless eBay purchases and tube trades – so I’ve taken the risk out of the equation for you. No wildly humming, wrongly advertised/identified and poor testing tubes to be found here! I'm selling most of these tubes at a loss - you can check eBay for the (insane) prices many of these tubes are currently going for. The money from these sales will go towards funding my analog rig. Before I begin, here are some important pieces of information for all you prospective buyers. Read them carefully! *** Contact me via email/PM – first come, first served. *** *** If you're based overseas, I charge cost for packing/shipping – no sneaky hidden profits here! You may combine items to reduce total shipping. *** Here are links to my eBay and Head-Fi feedback. (tubes were mostly tested on a Hickok 6000A tester: poor < OK < strong < very strong < NOS) You may check out what other people think of these tubes here. Detailed descriptions – 1. 1x CBS brown base 5692, testing NOS - S$80 - tests 2700/2650 (1250 min) - brown base, green print, jet-black plates, excellent top gettering - 100% for prints and labels photo 2. 1x Tungsol round plate 6SN7/VT231, testing NOS - S$105 - 2900/3000 (1250 min) - round plates, oval top mica - missing centre plastic guide pin, otherwise 100% for prints and labels - I have marked out the ‘key’ on the base so that you can correctly insert this tube - purchase with other Tungsol round plate for $150/pr – they make a 5% matched pair! 3. 1x Cossor (Brimar made) black glass 6SN7GT, NOS NIB - S$75 - positively identified as a rebranded Brimar earliest make 6SN7GT - round top mica, jet black glass - clear top glass free from brown/black/metallic stains, indicating zero use - rebranded as a Cossor, NOS NIB with all original inserts - 100% for prints and labels photo 4. 2x matched pair black glass 14N7s, both labeled Sylvania, testing NOS - S$40/pr - 5% matched between sections – 2700/2800 & 2650/2750 (1250 min) - identical construction – rare black glass, short bottle, getter flashing extending halfway down tube, jet-black T-plates, additional copper support rod within - one tube is 100% for prints and labels, the other has labels slightly rubbed off but still visible. photo 5. 2x matched pair black glass 14N7s, labeled Philco & Zenith, same date codes NOS NIB - S$40/pr - 5% matched between sections – 2700/2700 & 2750/2700 (1250 min) - identical construction – tall bottle, getter flashing extending halfway down tube, jet-black T-plates, additional copper support rod within - 100% for prints and labels photo 6. 1x Westinghouse (WE made) 421A, testing NOS - S$100 - Bought from Brent Jesse Recording in 2005, never used - Western Electric made for Westinghouse Corp. – WE quality with better material, stronger vacuum and superior section matching in factory - dual top getters and extra thick glass, black plates - missing centre plastic guide pin, otherwise 100% for prints and labels - I have marked out the ‘key’ on the base so that you can correctly insert this tube - Tests 110/110 on a B&K747 (55 is ‘bad/replace’, ‘good‘ starts at 80 and maxes at 120) - S&H is $7 for airmail to the CONUS (est. 7-11 working days delivery) delivery) photo 1 photo 2 photo 3 photo 4 While every care will be taken to ensure that you get your tubes safely, all items are sold as-is with no warranty of any kind implied.
