FS - 12AT7/ECC81 single tubes

When I had my Dared I would occasionally get a tube lot with some orphaned tubes, usually of the semi-rare variety that I was going to pair up at a later date. Never happened before I sold the Dared. Currently I have nothing that uses the 12AT7/ECC81; however I have saved some of favorite pairs stashed away for a rainy day.
These are sitting around doing nothing. I know some Polkies have tube pre's that might use a single ECC81 or perhaps this will get you 50% closer to some of the nicer, more rare tubes for use as a pair.
These are all guaranteed to work, I have nothing to test them in at the moment, but all were fine performers before they went into storage. I am not looking to gouge anyone, but these are some of the rarer finds.
(1) 1953 or 1954 (1st production, early code) 12AT7/ECC81 made in Heerlen Holland, gray wing type plate, slant D getter, no post, no label left. tKC - delta 9 between pins. Creme de La Creme. $65/shipped
Here's one just like it.

1961 Valvo (Hamburg) ECC81, gray wing type plate, no holes in side plate makes it a bit more rare, ring getter. VF2 - D1B between the pins. Normally 1961 tubes would have a 4 digit code etched on the glass, this has the pre 1960 code type between the pins. $25/shipped
1964 Siemens (Munich) ECC81, gray wing plate, single side plate hole, ring getter. VF3 - #4L
$25/shipped
These all test/play very strong 85-95%. All guaranteed or I will take them back. PayPal friends and family preferred but will take other forms if I know you.

I check a little closer George.
Later I will be posting some single 12AU7/ECC82's. I will also be getting ready to sell the Eastern Electric Mini Max pre-amp soon. Still on the fence if I want to keep it a bit longer..........but in reality it'll probably sit in the closet.

No George, I don't have what your looking for. But, I can say the (2) early tubes (Holland and Hamburg) are sublime and about as good as it gets for a 12AT7/ECC81.
Thanks
