5 x Gold Lion KT88's. They just went through premium extensive testing at TC Tubes on Amplitrex AT 1000. This test resulted in further  degassing process and burning in 2 of 5 tubes. The cost for all of this was $50 to me. I have all the detailed test results for your inspection. 

Let me know if you would like me to email you test results and charts for each tube before purchase. For those of you who are knowledgable about tubes you can see exactly what you are getting by reading the data.

TC Tubes have reputation as one of the best and most thorough and well equipped places to test tubes. I was astonished at the detail tests they provided.
I told them, I would be selling the tubes and so they should alert me if any of the tubes were not reliable or up to high standard. One tube out of 6 was questionable. Therefore we threw it away.

TC TUBES RESULT SUMMARY:
100% for KT88 in this test is 57mA/6400Gm
If we assume 85% and higher is "as new" then the following is accurate.

Tube 2:  73.4mA/6800Gm tests as new
Tube 3:  49.8mA/6200Gm tests as new
Tube 4:  52.8mA/5800Gm tests as new
Tube 5:  59.4mA/6800Gm tests as new
Tube 6:  46.8mA/6000Gm tests as good

I bought two of these kt88's from Ian McShane and they have less than 100 hrs. the other three from Tube Store have between 200-400 hrs on them at an estimate.

$150 for all 5 or best offer, plus UPS shipping. they will be thoroughly packed and insured for sale amount.

Shipping from NY 11101
