These are Baldwin labeled tubes from an organ I parted out a few weeks ago. All have been tested and any that read 80 or below were tossed. I can match them up fairly well but of course not perfectly. The 12AU7's are sylvania but don't know about the 12AX7 or 6BQ5's...both of those say made in Japan in orange print.

Have about 30prs of the 12AU7, 5 pairs of the 12AX7 and 3 pairs of the 6BQ5.

The tubes will be sold in ratings order, so the sooner you buy the stronger testing tubes you get!

At these prices you can really afford to tube roll :biggrin:


12AU7's.....$10pr plus shipping
12AX7's and 6BQ5's....$15pr plus shipping

    The only matching set of 12AT7's I have are Siemens ECC801S's. They are very very nice, tested-matched-balanced. VERY VERY STRONG Siemens Halske BWB Military Tubes.

    Still $10 for the 12AX7 but need to charge $50 for the Siemens, and thats alot less then I paid for them but need to thin the herd so to speak:biggrin:

    I'll take a matched pair of the 12AX7's.

    Are they $15 as stated in the OP or $10 as stated in post #10?
