    If someone wants all 100 of the 6201/12AT7WA 3 mica tubes with horseshoe getters made in the late 50"s $750.00

    Easily double or more your money on Ebay with matched pairs of these I have seen singles go for as high as $30.00 each.

    I will also throw in a hand full of loose 12AT7 variants free of charge.

    All remaining tubes have been tested by me personally and all test well into the good range and some even test as high as 120% of NOS.

    Not sure there is a typical burn in time to be honest. Everyone seems to have a different opinion of what that is ranging from 10 hours to months of use, most seem to feel that by 100 hours that they will have settled in. These will likely outlast the gear itself though if you were to listen faithfully 2 hours a day 7 days a week it would likely take 15 years before tube replacement.
