This guy may not know what he has here. These usually go for $30-60+ a pair. I've had them they're very good tubes. If you have anything that takes a 6ak5 tube these are sweet

No affilation just passing along a great deal

search Western Electric 403b and look at the prices I paid much more than this and I loved them.

FYI Western Electric was one of the premier tube manufactures way back in the day. Do a search and see some of their NOS tubes sell for thousands of dollars. Pretty well respected brand.

    You bet! They were the cheapest I've ever seen them. His loss is your gain :)

    Wow got these tubes in today. Popped them in my FX audio and they sound MUCH better than the other tubes I've tried. Crazy Soundstage increase, bass definition, smoother midrange and treble.
