Big Tube Score! *New*

[Markedman]

I use the maxi matcher testers. They work great.

I just read the FAQ at MaxiMatcher. Debating whether to wait until I earn my initial investment back first selling some of the preamp and odd ball tubes and then match all the prime power tubes and market them properly.

I see a new amp or maybe a guitar in my future. I'll easily double my investment in a couple of weeks. We negotiated the price to a very reasonable deal for over 200 tubes, IMO. Took a leap, I feel good about it right now anyway.

3 days, 18 hours left, 3 bids, from Germany. These are gold, fuck, I think I found a Treasure chest.

Now I'm thinking new guitar and amp after all tubes are sold, could be less than a month! The winged C's will fly away at $40 a pop which will pay for my initial investment. I just started looking at the pile of NOS 12ax7's. MFer, I stepped in it this time!

Good for you! Nice scores; if those are all NOS I’d seriously consider hanging on to the best matched sets. These Siemens and Winged Cs are getting rarer, along with many other quality vintage tubes.
I have 16 Siemens, 12 Winged C and 8 Mullard 34s along with 10 Mesa 415s on top of the 6 415s that are in my Coli, and the NOS quad of Siemens in my tremolo.
Plus 90 mostly vintage 12ax7s. I’m set for the rest of my days.

Damn, nice!

A buddy of mine bought me a pair of those old RCA 6v6's for $60. Idk what they normally sell for but it seemed like a good deal to me. I run em in my Simo-Plex

I'd give you $40 a piece for a matched quad. I'm not looking to buy more for any resales. Of course I can help you with matching if needed. I can also help you test preamp tubes as well.

Am I seeing it correctly that the quad of siemens is selling for $510? I have like 4 matched quads in my stash that I might have to list. lol

Yeah those Siemens demand quite a dollar. I have decided to buy the maxi matcher for the big tubes. When I thought about it, who would buy a tube for more than a few bucks if it wasn’t tested first, right? I’ll probably search for more tube lots and continue to do this as a side business because there is a lot of money to be made.
Which tubes are you interested in? The boxes do not match the tube inside, some are GE some Sovtek, some Svetlana and I found a few amperex big bottle, I am going to take pictures of all of them probably selling the smaller preamp and power tubes first until I get the maximatcher

That's awesome dude! I saw that listing but didn't have the funds (nor any testing equipment). LoL.

I can fund the maxi master and what I paid for the tubes, thank you Joe Biden
