I have two extra of these Bendix 6385 tubes for sale.
I sent these to Christian at Tube depot after I received them to get an accurate test since I had no idea about what I got in terms of the tube quality.
They had the following readings:
6300/5166 where 3150 is the minimum -- $Sold shipped
4663/5040 where 3150 is the minimum -- $65 shipped
My review is here on what I thought of the tubes performance in the BADA

I realize this isn't cheap for tubes but I don't think you can find these tubes cheaper. The time and energy I put into obtaining these was not insignificant. Not to mention I'm eating the cost of two others which read 4914/2000 (bad) and 2000/2000(bad/bad). I'm keeping the 5544/6300.
If you are interested great if not that's fine too, I understand. I'll put them on ebay with buy it now of $100 and $125. Just giving the Bada guys first crack.
For me I considered these tubes a "tweak" and with the cables and feet and tube dampners I've purchased this was a worthy improvement for the price all things considered.
paypal or money order
Thanks,
