FS...Tubes

[electra225]

I have quite the collection of radio and audio tubes that I didn't sell at our auction. I sold essentially all of the TV tubes, somewhere in the neighborhood of 25,000 units. I probably have 7000 or so left that I'm not going to use and that I don't want to store and handle. I realize that this little project will be at least a minor bending of the rules, so for that I apologize. I don't know how else to do it. Instead of taking and posting pictures of every tube, I am going to do it more generally. If anyone wants to buy tubes, I will test and take pictures of the ones they will receive. I'm not going to fool around with new, used, reboxed that kind of thing. Some of these are NOS/NIB, some are pulls, some I'm sure are duds. All are boxed. Some may be in new, original boxes, some may be in white boxes, some may be in recycled original boxes. For the sake of simplicity, let's just call them tubes. Tested, boxed tubes. I think I'll do the rectifiers and output tubes for $5, the "little amplifiers" for $3. I haven't found the 6V6's yet, nor the 6SN7's. These may be priced somewhat differently. This plus USPS shipping from 85143. Some brand specific tubes may be available on a case-by-case basis, so please ask if you have those needs. I am in the process of selling items I have that are surplus to my needs in order to finance my electronic projects which are going to be expensive. The four sets of matched quads for the Concert Grand will be $500 by themselves, plus whatever else I see it needs. I have fairly large quantities of most types listed. If there is interest and there is a short supply, we can talk about that as it comes up. My intention here is to get this stuff to someone who can use it at a price that is competetive and that we all remain friends after the transaction, if you get my drift. I don't want to hear anything about faint markings or anything like that. I hesitate to really do this, seeing the hassle this can cause on other forums. I don't want to just toss this stuff without at least offering it to someone who can use it. The slightest hassle whatsoever will result in this stuff getting tossed because life is too short.. Thank you for your time and attention.

Available types at this time. More types on the way as I dig them out.

I have some of the 1.5 volt portable radio tubes. I found some of the miniatures. I should have some Loktals and octals somewhere, still undiscovered. I think what I'll do is this. I have no luck testing these small tubes. Even a good battery in an ohmmeter can kill the filaments in one. I was taught to test these tubes by substitution. So, if I have what you need, I'll just throw a set in for free with a $25 purchase of other tubes. They may be new, may be used, may be duds, but they cost you nothing. That seems like the fairest way.

I have some 12AX7's. I'd have to say that most of them are pulls. If they are tested as good, they should work for your normal audio needs. I'm not sure I'd use them in a high-dollar restoration, but they would be better than nothing. I want to evaluate them a bit more before I list them. I have no idea how many might still be good. Something to keep in mind. Also, if I have a type and want to sell it, I'll list it. This will prevent you wasting your time sending me a PM just to be told that I don't have what you need. Sound fair?

I have three sleeves of five GE 35W4 tubes in the original GE sleeves. I'd say these are NOS.
