$300 for the Quad - Shipped only in Contiguous USA. Electrically and physically Matched Quad (4) of vintage NOS/NIB JAN Philips ECG 6L6WGB/5881 vacuum tubes with same date codes made in USA. Electrically tested with a Maximatcher at 400V.  Data are mA and gM values:

34 mA, 2,900 Gm
33 mA, 2,900 Gm
31 mA, 2,800 Gm
32 mA, 2,900 Gm

These tubes are considered more like a 6L6GC than a 6L6/5881 type and more like the 7581A.  These are New in the Box, New Old Stock, never used, except to test and audition in my Cayin A-60T, which puts 440V on the plates.  They sounded superb.  Also tested in TV-10 and Eico666 and returned perfect matched NOS-spec values.  No gas, no leaks.

These have the most open and transparent sonics, and outstanding bass, of any 6L6 type I have tried. I prefer the old St Petersburg SED 6L6GC to these for jazz and classical in my 20W customized Magnavox 6L6 amp, but for Rock, Rap and RnB--these simply rule (TME,IMO).  It's all about trial and error to get sonic synergy. 

I have another quad of these if someone needs an octet.  Continental USA only. Will post pics if anyone expresses interest. See link for a description and what they look like--you will receive the exact same tubes as in the link, including in their original boxes.   Thanks for looking.

bump.  Open to reasonable offers. Pricing competitive with the EB and far lower than online vendors, but actual current-matched data is quite rare to find for a quad (for good reasons!).
