I have been playing tube amps for around 30 years, and I have collected a stash of around 150 tubes that just sit and wait to be used. I’ll never use them all, so I’m passing along some through this and a few other ads.
These have all been tested on my Seco 107a Tube Tester - see the last pic here for a view of it. On this tester, below 60 is bad, and above 70 is Good. The numbers shown for the tubes relate to that scale (the scale in the meter shown below). Separately, I tested them each individually in a tube amp, including gentle tapping to test for microphonics. All of them are strong and do not have any noises, crackles, hums, etc.
Note – the boxes and the writing on the boxes likely bears no relation to the tube inside, other than the number in the circle I used to track which tube is in which box. Some boxes are original, the vast majority are not.
I tried to price these a bit below the online resellers I have seen, but if my pricing is way off, please let me know. I'm new to selling tubes and open to constructive feedback.
Listing has my stock number, brand, tube type and any notes/details. Pics or each individual tube are in an album - link below - and in order by my stock number. So, if you have an interest in tube #23, click on the folder and you will see all my tubes in order of stock number - go to file #23 and that's the one. Happy to provide more details or more pics if you are a serious buyer. Most of the tubes in the album will be listed eventually, mostly I'm doing research on exactly what I have and what pricing should be, but feel free to inquire about any of them not listed here or make me an offer.
This is a link to my album with pics of all the tubes: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjCMqkn
Shipping is in the $10-$20 range, depending on the number of tubes purchased and dollar amount I need to insure.
