Wanted to make this thread after Lisa gave me the idea with her Pickup Swapmeet thread......


Come here to trade or to list tubes you have to borrow or if you would like to borrow some from Members.


Post to ask for tubes, trade or borrow or PM members offering tubes for trade/borrowing!!!!!!!!



*If fellow members are kind enough to give away tubes for free only take them if youre really in need.* Take free tubes if your in need and have no other spares…… take tubes if yours are faulty or getting old….. if you can easily afford them then try to refrain….. outside of that kind of just use common sense and discretion as seller/giver/trader/asker etc etc.


Figure for trading both parties are responsible for shipping on their end and pretty simple and the borrowing party is responsible for shipping to and from borrowing party.


*****Borrow and trade at your own discretion, in good faith and keep trades/borrowing honest to prevent bad deals, if a bad deal occurs dont be afraid to post regarding the bad deal..... if a good deal occurs dont be afraid to give props either.*****

This way with trades or borrowing members can try tubes/sets they havent tried before with their rig and "test" them like a wine testing before buying new ones that can be pretty expensive sometimes and before taking the plunge.




Come here to trade or borrow tubes...... The Rig-Talk Tube Swapmeet ^_^

Putting up a set of Tung Sol Apex Matched 6V6 for borrowing to rotate amongst members as long as borrower is willing to pay for shipping from and send them back and I'll pay shipping to send it out in good faith.


Used once pretty much and they cost 80 bucks now so if your curios check them out for borrowing if your interested in a set and havent tried them before.

I have a quad of Mesa 6L6 if anyone wants to trade for a quad of mesa el34
 
Also posted in main OP with updates but if fellow members are willing to give tubes for free only take them if your really in need and those are meant for fellow members in real need.


Cheers and all the best ^_^
 
I have some pairs of 6L6's, lightly used.. Tungsol, and I might have some Ruby 6L6GC-MSTR. I also have some Tungsol 5881's. Lord knows what else I may find. I've not had a 100 watt amp in years, so pairs is all I've hoarded.
 
Neat.

Regarding this:
*If fellow members are kind enough to give away tubes for free only take them if youre really in need.*
Any specific parameters you had in mind? E.g., "amp won't work until tubes are replaced" is pretty obvious, but what about "tubes will die soon" or "on last set of tubes"? Could also leave it to seller/giver discretion I guess, though maybe there will be mismatched expectations occasionally.

Rather than control this I would rather in a way leave it up to individuals and the free community on the forum but would provide these guidelines and recommendations……

Will sticky this to the top too but outside of that within those guidelines feel its best to allow the community freely and individuals freely to exercise their own discretion and their own free choice.


A free community, with free individuals, all contributing freely providing feedback…… where everyone benefits. Folks are free to decide what they want to do and its really up to everyones/individuals free choice and their own discretion this way while providing stability and order with feed back from free individuals…… like a free market for tubes :dunno:

Good stuff man definitely come through and this is for trade/borrowing/swapping or giving away too but as said for those in need.
