    What designation are they?

    Sorry....um, I'm not sure. No etch codes as you know. One has side getter probably from 49-51, and I think the top was made in transition period, from 1952...?

    Ok Rich, np. The only others I found with a final head count were a few more TS 5687s and (2) Raytheon WA tubes NOS, and a third Raytheon 5687WA NOS with square getter. PM if you don't want the GE any longer.

    Greetings Doc!

    So what the verdict on the TS 5687? Did my buddy Rich snag the lot?:wink:

    If so, it's good! Rich and I have been swapping Modwright spit for years!:eek:

    Hey Rich, thought you said you were done rolling tubes? :mrgreen:

    LOL I am, really. I've already rolled all the 5687's and their substitutes (7119's, 6900's) when Norm was alive. We both had ModWright pre's and modded CD players so there was never a shortage of tubes to roll. The current Raytheons in my pre have been in service for quite some time and I want some good tubes around to put in it. I have some Tung Sols as spares but they have lots of hours. Only thing light on hours are the Sylvania GB's and I have a couple pairs of them. And a pair of MU6900's, but some folks don't appreciate the detail they present with the ESL's.:eek: Darn CD player hardly sees any use now. But it remains here for BYO (bring your own) and purists...:cheesygrin:

    Carl, I dibbed two Black plates along with the ribbed and GE. I think he has more Black plates. If not we can make a deal...:cheesygrin:

    Hi Doc!

    Tell me more about the "normal" TS black plates? Test results, cosmetics, date codes, etc.? I have several in stock. However, being the tube **** that I am I am interested.

    He's selling some solid tubes and the prices are pretty nice to boot. You'd think that the wanna be tube nuts would pay attention to what us established tube whores are buying....it might be a hint as to what to be on the lookout for.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Greetings Jon!

    Your price is more than fair, it's excellent! I did some inventory last night. I have three pair of the black plates (no ribbed), so I am going to pass. I would just be hoarding and there are other Polkies that need to listen to these TS tubes. Good luck with this excellent pair of tubes!

    Regards,
    Carl
