in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
For sale are a few tubes mostly preamp tubes. The tester I used for these tubes test tubes at a lower percentage then most testers I have used in the past so they will likely be better then they show in any pictures. I have been out of the audio game for a while but recently came across these and thought I would give you guys and gals a shot at these. Most everyone who has been here for years will remember me and can vouch for my honesty.

In any case all tubes or anything else I sell comes with a your happy or your money back policy no questions asked or explanations needed, simply return what you bought and receive a full refund including shipping both ways.

Pictures of test results for any and all tubes upon request. These all test minimum good on my B&K Model 600 tube tester. Also please check the club house for a tube give away.

Shipping will be via USPS priority flat rate box small medium or large.

Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    Not much history to re tell here are a few pics of the test results, these have not been listened to for microphonics they were pulled from an old Heathkit signal generator so likely seen little use and the test results reflect this they both tests as NOS tubes do on my tester they were both made in Backburn and have the same dates, and both tubes test very evenly on both sides and between tubes, of course if you get these and want to return then for microphonics or any other reason I will happily do so.

    You may get lucky and win the Karma but sorry the Mullard pair have sold, I do have a Mullard single 12AX7 that you can buy if you wish. It was made in the Blackburn factory in 1961 and tests as strong as any NOS 12AX7 does on this tester most NOS tubes test between 80-90% this one tests at the high end of the scale in both sections.

    Sure sent you a message, if you want I will send you 2 more Mullard 12AU7's no cost they test low on my tester but they still sound very good so may last a while if you wish, a lot of low testing tubes will still play for years.

    Yes he missed them by minutes, I feel bad about not reserving them for him but I was not sure he was going to buy them, if someone states they will take a tube/s I will wait for payment for a few days but if they say they are interested and don't commit I cant hold them, its not fair to another member that wants them, many times I have held something for someone and they later decide they don't want them
