The Bass Karma Thread a Glowing Start NIB NOS Amperex 12AU7/6189's

medium jim · « **on:** 21 Apr 2013, 04:55 pm »

First off, let's thank SteveFord and Decal for the idea

The rules are simple, open to all AC members and if you are the winner you must pay it forward by putting up something that is Audio Related to keep the Karma Train rolling down the track in the Bass Place.

Your post number is your raffle ticket, only one entry per user. My mother will pull a number out of a hat on the 15th of May and I will post the # and the name of the winner.

The first offering is a NIB/NOS pair of Amperex 6189/12AU7WA Preamp tubes. They have an EIA Code (on the lip flap) 165-7105 (5th week of 1971), appear to be Sylvania made and were made in the USA and have a single large halo getter, 15mm dark grey plates and are great sounding tubes, will definitely make your bass sound good!

Sorry for the large image size, but I wanted to show them in some detail:

Duplicate entries will be deleted.

Thanks again to Steve and Decal...

On 2nd thought, pick your own number, 1 to 50 and once all numbers are spoken for or when 4/15/2013 hit, which ever is first, a winner will be drawn.

Good luck!

Not to sound like I'm begging, but if you have stereo gear or even a guitar amplifier that uses 12AU7/ECC82 type tubes, why not put your name in the hopper, especially if you have something audio related that you don't need to pay it forward.

Heck, even if you don't need them, tell someone who might, after all, it's about good karma!

Thanks,
Jim

42. After all, it is the universal answer.... Got the perfect place in a pre for a pair of these.

To make it more accommodating to all, the lucky winner can either put something up or nominate someone else that they personally know to. Hopefully this will make it happen.

Thanks a million to each and everyone of you.

I have to think there has to be a lot of you guys who have a good use for a pair of NIB/NOS 12AU7's. It won't be long before I will be pulling a rabbit out of my hat and announce the winner!

Many thanks,
Jim

Great news, SteveFord has proposed a dedicated Karma Circle were all things Karma can be centralized. Please cast your vote and if enough vote to participate it will happen!

Jim

P.S. the drawing for this Karma Offering will happen on or about 5:00 PM PST on 5/8/13. The pay it forward will stay on this circle and will move to the Karma Circle if approved.
