Cleaning out the last of my 45 collection (that I am willing to let go), so I have the following group of 10 (+1 that is most likely a dud) 45 STs for sale.
Price is SOLD.
At the asking price shipping via priority mail in the USA is included (contact me about outside USA).
I strongly prefer to sell as a group but I may break them up for the right offer.
If these do not sell quickly, they will go off to Ebay as a group.
TESTING AND MATCHING
All tubes have been tested on a recently refurbed Westmore 501 (similar to a Triplett 3444) for Gm (transconductance) and plate current. Reject point on the Westmore is 1100, and "average" new is 2200. I do not have a spec for plate current.
Regardless of test results, all tubes that I sell should be considered used.
The list and results are as follows:
Brand Date Code Gm/mA
National Union KR 2175/30
Tung-Sol ? 2075/34
Tung-Sol 322147 1975/38
National Union ER 1925/30
National Union GC 1850/22
Coronado D9R 1800/28
Philco 0/0 1700/30
RCA 513 1625/24
J&R T19 1450/24
RCA Victor T3 1375/22
National Union ? ?
On the last tube, the filaments light up but unevenly, and it gives a DC overload indication on the Westmore. The tube looks good, but is only included as a bonus.
DISCLAIMER ON TUBE TESTING
Although my tube testers tend to be reliable, YOUR TUBE TESTER MAY GIVE A DIFFERENT RESULT THAN MINE, so please take that into account. To avoid any misunderstanding, my tube tester results control this transaction.
I cannot guarantee (or even remotely predict) how any tube will sound or perform in your equipment. Test results are only an indication of tube performance under a very limited (and non-ideal) environment. I expressly disclaim any and all representations, warranty and liability with respect to any tube sales, and any responsibility for your use of these tubes.
I am an honest seller, but I am NOT a tube professional, and I am NOT in the tube business.
