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.

(1) 1954 Valvo (1st production, early code) 12AT7/ECC81 made in Hamburg, gray wing type plate, slant D getter, no post, heavy flashing, no label left. TkP - DN between the pins. Creme de La Creme. $65/shipped

(1) 1957 Brimar (Arkay label) ECC81, black wing type plate, O getter, code: 3L7/566. $25/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.

Post interest here and/or PM

    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
