Mixed Group of 6SN7GT 6SN7GTA and 6SN7GTB Vacuum Tubes
$145 plus shipping (plus Paypal fee if using Paypal)
I am trying to clean out some of my various odds and ends, so this mixed group of various 6SN7GT, 6SN7GTA and 6SN7GTB vacuum tubes is up for sale.
There are 29 tubes in all, but a couple test low or have an issue (explained in detail below) so the number of useable tubes may be a few less.
Even the ones that tested low on the B&K did test into the “good” range on a reliable emissions tester (Precision 660), so they may still have some usefulness left.
My strong preference is to sell these as a group, but I may split up for the right offer. I may also consider some trade value (see below).
A few of the tubes come with what appear to be original boxes but, for the purposes of this listing, all tubes should be considered used.
I only performed a basic screening of all the tubes on a reasonably calibrated B&K 700, where 65+ is in the green (‘good’), and I believe that 100 is supposed to be “average new” (but this can vary from tube to tube). The B&K meter does not have much definition, so the numbers are approximate. All tubes were clean for shorts and leakage, except for one as indicated below.
The tubes and results are as follows. The results are presented as (1) test results, (2) date code (where available) and (3) comments.
If needed to close a deal, I will be willing to run a couple of these tubes through my current best tester for small signal tubes - a Weston 981 III.

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Please note that these tubes are being sold ‘AS IS’.
I ONLY describe what I know about the tubes, and what I have tested for. Although my tube testers tend to be reliable, YOUR TUBE TESTER MAY GIVE A DIFFERENT RESULT THAN MINE, so please take that into account. If the information is not there, DO NOT ASSUME, and do not rely on any of YOUR assumptions. If you need more information than provided in the listing, ASK IN ADVANCE. If I happen to have the information, I will provide it. If I can get the information in a reasonable way, I will get it. If I do not call a tube NOS, consider that tube used. I do the best I can with very limited time and capabilities. I am an honest seller, but I am NOT a tube professional, and I am NOT in the tube business.
AS SUCH, PLEASE NOTE THAT I CANNOT GUARANTEE (OR EVEN REMOTELY PREDICT) HOW THESE TUBES WILL SOUND OR PERFORM IN YOUR EQUIPMENT. THE TEST RESULTS ARE ONLY PROVIDED AS AN INDICATION OF TUBE PERFORMANCE IN A VERY LIMITED (AND NON-IDEAL) ENVIRONMENT. OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH ABOVE, I EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THESE TUBES OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR USE OF THEM.
Shipping in the USA will be via US Postal Priority Mail. Insurance if desired will be extra. I would estimate that the package weight will be about 3 lbs, but will charge no more than a large Flat Rate box to your location (or less if actual is less). If you are outside the USA, or wish to use a different shipping method, contact me for a shipping quote.
Money order/cashiers check/personal check preferred, but all (other than US Postal money orders) must clear my bank first.
I also accept Paypal for convenience (but add 3% to the total for USA, and 4% to the total everywhere else). IF YOU PAY VIA PAYPAL, HOWEVER, A CONDITION OF YOUR PAYMENT IS THAT YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO FILE A PAYPAL CLAIM OR CHARGE BACK (but do retain the right to sue me in court should you so desire).
I may consider some trade value, but my needs are few. A couple of tubes interests include 45, 46, 47, 7591/7591A, KT90, M8162, CV4024, E81CC and ECC801s.
Please check my feedback on Audiogon, Videogon and Ebay (ID=baileyler) and buy with confidence.
