LARGE GROUP OF VINTAGE VACUUM TUBES (12AT7, 12AU7, 6SN7, 12SN7 and More)
Price is $1000 for the group. Strongly prefer a local transaction (Chadds Ford, PA), but I will consider shipping (see below for more details).
I will consider trade value for audio equipment (including cables) and even other tubes (new production or vintage, such as 45, 46, 2A3, 300b, 6J5G, 6C5G, 6L5G, 7N7 (grey glass only), KT90, 5Z3, 5691 and possibly others).
This is not your average bulk group – these are tubes generally picked from the bulk groups (plus some "bulk" ones included at no extra charge).
These tubes are all vintage (mostly 1950s and 1960s with a few 1970s), predominantly USA (with a couple of Japanese and maybe a European or two), and are there are LOTS of common audio/guitar types. There are black plates, grey plates, d-getter, horseshoe getter, halo getter, RCA, Sylvania, Tung-Sol, GE, Raytheon and more.
THESE ARE MOSTLY PULLS, and all should be considered used.
THESE ARE ALSO UNTESTED, but from appearance the vast majority will test out good to excellent.
I counted the following at one time, but have since added several to the group so the numbers should be a little low. There is no specific list or inventory, but included are at least the following.
107 12AU7 or 12AU7A (including a small number of 6189)
102 12AT7 (including some 6201)
29 6SN7GT, 6SN7GTA and 6SN7GTB
47 12SN7GT
Many rectifiers (including but not limited to 5R4, 5U4 and 6X4 types)
One small bag (each) of 5963, 6211, 12AV7, 12AX7, 6DJ8 and 5965.
A few other odds and ends of value (including some things of value in the bulk boxes, like 6AQ5).
I would estimate that the total number of tubes (excluding the bulk boxes) is somewhere around 400 to 450. if you add the "bulk" boxes, that gets closer to 1000 tubes (or maybe even over).
I have a picture below, but there are significantly more than in the photo (does not show bulk boxes for example).
I am not selling individual tubes via this ad – ONLY the group.
Please note that all tubes are sold “AS IS” and there is NO GUARANTEE whatsoever as to how they will test out. I also provide absolutely no guarantee as to how these tubes will work or perform in any equipment.
As indicated, I strongly prefer a local transaction, but will consider shipping in the USA. If shipping is needed, I am willing to wrap each tube individually in newspaper so that there is no glass-to-glass contact, but I will need a week (or so) to do that depending on my schedule. I am not sure of the total weight (1000 tubes should be +/- 40 lbs if I remember correctly) or if one or two boxes will be needed (probably better with 2 medium size boxes), so shipping cost will need to be determined once packed. Shipping will be via FedEx Ground/Home unless otherwise requested. I will only charge for shipping and not any extra for packing or materials.
Cash, US Postal money order or Paypal accepted (but add 3% for Paypal).
