I figured I would post a pic "blast from the past" before I sell them.

What NOS tubes do you have? How's the calibration on the tube tester? Any RCA red-base rectifier tubes?

Thanks!

If any of those can be used for radio go post them on qrz.com classifieds or eham.net All the older hams that have older radios use them.

I only know what I read in books which isn't saying much. I have had this stuff in the garage for 20 - 25 years now so the calibration is out of date. But all the tubes and tester are in good shape. I was going to answer an add in the paper wtb/tubes.

Geeze, I remember having to walk to Radio Shack or the local market and use the testing machine to see which were bad for our Zenith tube tv. Brings back memories.

Yes SweetAccord, I remember as a teen, seeing a tube tester in a Gibsons store.
Those were the days. I must be getting close to being a relic:roflol:
Thanks for sharing the photo Egneg!

The right tubes can be a cash cow. A lot of the tube amp guys will pay top dollar for the right tubes...I know I've opened myself up for some kind of comment....:zip-up:

Yes you are right, Tube amps and ham radio guys would pay top dollar for
original tubes.

I remember going to AJ Bayless grocery store to test and buy tubes for the amps and tv growing up! I don't feel old but I guess time says other wise ;-)

I have a few odd tube that I don't have any need for in guitar amps, no rectifier tubes though.
I'm the one who bought a couple of tubes here, they sound quite nice.
You're right the right tube can bring a lot of money, I have a couple of British Mullard 12ax7s from 1953, they're worth about 300$ a piece. They still have a fully readable date and factory code on them.
Let me know the tube you need and I'll look through my collection, easier than me listing them all!

Sounds good to me - which 2 do you want? I will ship them usps sb flat rate at $5.00. I will PM you my paypal addy. No I haven't tested them as the tester I have won't do those (if it does I haven't figured it out). But I will work with you and exchange them or give you a refund.
