I opened up the hall closet the other day, which isn't a big closet mind you, but the top three shelves were full of tubes. I spent most of the past two nights testing until the wee hours of the morning on my calibrated B&K 700.
Everything listed here tested good or better - and if I listed a pair, they tested super close or spot on for a matched pair. These aren't ratty, dusty pulls - most have EXCELLENT lettering, all are VERY good.
I'll be putting another batch up either later tonight, or tomorrow, I didn't want to put too much in one thread.
All prices shipped lower 48, unless noted original box(es), tubes will ship in generic white or NOS 'United' boxes. Paypal away. First come, first served by posting intent in THIS thread. My pm box fills quickly these days, so post here, I will PM you.

I have plenty of JAN's Marvin, but I get the feeling you don't want the 'norm'. Let me dig around. You are getting into the kids college fund, but I like you, let me see what I can do.

Russ,
I think you are going to be getting a lot of tube requests. I am one of them.....;) Do you have a quad of siemens e88ccs? Or E188ccs? Thanks for putting up with our requests.

Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

Just for the sake of me not getting confused, I'll start a new thread with tubes in the next couple of days.
Cheers,
RussCheck your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service. -
Yeah, I was getting kinda confused trying to see what you might have left. Jesse has recommended 12AT7 Telefunken or the 12AT7 RCA black plate's and for my 12AU7's either Mullard long plate or the Mullard CV4003. I would imagine those are long gone.

I missed this thread when you first posted.-Kevin
