1960's - TUNG SOL - 5881/6L6WGB
I bought these and can't use them. I was going to keep them in my goodie box, but in reality I probably will never have an opportunity to use them. Not only are these great for audio gear but they are very common in vintage guitar amplifiers. Vintage 60's tone which the Russian re-issues can't touch. Probably the best tone of any 5881/6L6.
I have (2) pairs or a matched quad (4). All measure NOS at 40 with a minimum of 25. These are used but measure new. Here's the deal $60/pr -shipped or $110 for the quad. If you buy the quad I'll throw in a 5th tube in the original box which measures the same.

Good deal for some excellent tubes. If you need some 6L6/5881 tubes these are an excellent choice.
Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."![:\](https://forum.polkaudio.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

Last bump, then off to Ebay. Surprised some of you guitar players aren't up for these. Especially the Fender guys."Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience.
