12AU7 and 12AX7 tubes for sale.

Probably the last of my “holy grail” tubes I’m going to clear out. Tube prices seem to be going up and availability of some of these early tubes seems to be drying up compared to just a few years ago, but I have way too many of the following.....

1 pair – 1950 Tung Sol 12AX7, long black plate w/square getter. These are the real deal and very rare. These are strong ANOS tubes. These were only made for a couple years so there aren’t a lot around. This review pretty much sums these up for me……..I’d rank it the best American tube around.

$175

1 pair – 1958/59 Amperex ECC82, Heerlen Holland, long plate, D getter w/foil, both k64 build code. Probably one of the most popular of the Euro ECC82 tubes. Long plates are escalating in price. Labels are poor to non-existent but the codes are intact. Strong and
balanced.

$160

1 pair – 1958 Mullard/Eico ECC82, Blackburn, long plate, dual post halo getter. Strong, nice sounding tubes. (If someone needs a quad I might be able to do that too)

$150

1 pair – 1957 RCA 12AX7, long black plate, square getter. No introduction necessary. Always a solid performer. Strong and balanced
$80

Shipping and insurance is $10, combined shipping and insurance is $15. Paypal Gift is preferred, but if I know you a check is fine too. Add 3.5% for non-gift Paypal payments.

Thanks for looking.

    Final price drop on the Mullard Blackburn Long Plate ECC82

    $120/pr + shipping.

    These sell all day long on Ebay for more. I'd rather someone here get them.
