Vacuum Tubes (Valves)
 
I recently acquired a collection of over 1,000 new and used tubes, but have not had time to test them. Therefore I've suspending all listings until they're been properly evaluated. Please check back every so often for updates. Thank you for your patience!

All of the tubes of this page have been evaluated on a recently rebuilt and recalibrated Triplett 3444-A tube analyzer. Some are NOS, some are used that test new, some are just plain used, but most meet the specs for good or better condition. To aid in your selection, the exact reading is posted along with the reference spec for that particular type.
 
In some cases, the original writing is partially missing and, unless noted, many are packaged in generic white boxes. All of this is mentioned below in the description or notes.
 
All tubes are guaranteed to be genuine and as described (within reason). If you have an older tube tester that has not been calibrated for 40 years, don't expect to see identical results. Even the readings of tubes that were tested on both the Amplitrex and Triplett analyzers differed slightly. If a tube arrives DOA, I will take it back for a refund or exchange within 5 days of your receiving it. You can assume that they are all free of shorts and test low for gas, if at all. If you happen to find a short or excessive gas, I'll take those back for a refund or exchange within 5 days, too. In the case of a return, you are responsible for safe packaging and return postage.
 
I cannot guaranty microphonics or noise level. If you have any doubts, test them or use them as soon as they arrive. In most cases, where the tubes on hand are listed with specific readings, you can specify those exact pieces, which will allow you to do your own mixing and matching. If you don't ask for a particular tube or ask for close matches, I'll send you be best one(s) on hand.
 
Prices reflect condition, scarcity, and recent auction sales. Generally, the tubes are priced lower than you'll find them elsewhere. Sale Pending means that someone has reserved an item, but I have not yet received payment. Since people sometimes change their mind, I'll put you on a waiting list for any of these goods.
