Tubes for Sale: 5Y3 and 12AU7

Tubes Fer Sale:

All are tested for GOOD on an Hickok 6000a purchased from our own SCompRacer and he got it from Brent Jesse. Some are gooder than others.
Most cleaned but I don't clean if I think the label might come off. There are NO original boxes. Boxes are marked up and as is.
I have no way of testing for microphinics so please don't ask.
If you want a picture of what you're interested in please PM me.
Paypal (Friends/Family) or Cash ONLY. 1st come - 1st served based on date/time of PM. Please indicate what you are interested and what number it is as listed below.
Location is Rockford, IL and at door pickup is acceptable (except for those of you who don't shower... you know who you are.)
No returns - this a fairly flexible plan but tubes are consumables. They will last until they don't (that is the exact time frame).
You pay shipping. Assume at least $10. Depending on where you are and how many you purchased it could be more. If you desire insurance that bill is on you also.

If you are in the market for other tubes please let me know. I've purchased 3 tube caddies full of tubes and have quite the selection.

5Y3 - these are tested good/bad but I kept track of needle deflection so I'm assuming that the higher the number the betterer they MIGHT be. Each side of these are tested at different values. Values are arbitrary!

    I'll set #5 aside and will assume sold. I know there were some complaints the last time I shipped tubes so I've elected to use UNUSED toilet paper this time for packing.

    You're welcome.

    Looks like some AX's hiding here - hold please!

    I would not go beyond manufacturers recommendations. Because if I did recommend it and your amp blew up...I might feel bad...might... :#

    Play it safe!

    They will work fine. They do have lower gain (70) vs (100) for AX

    I'm going to pass, I've hit the tube buying hard as of late. I should buy food and pay a bill.
