I'm thinking about bidding on these tubes, but don't know if the tested numbers look good, what do you think?  Any experince with the seller's quality of tubes?

While I only need two of these for my Dodd, if the price is right... I'll buy the lot of three.

   and I thought you guys were my friends!! 

Seriously though... I really do appreciate your help.  I wont be bidding on these as it appears I may be better off continuing my search for the sure thing.

Thanks guys, you may have saved me money and regret.

Me too Vinnie I have most all Amperex (no pinched- to me they arent worth it) Siemens, Mullard, Ediswan, ect

These don't look too good to me at all ... the metal deposits on the glass visible near the bottom are a sign of heavy use.  Plus, I have found that Amperex PQs tend to be prone to noise after long use (at least, all 6 of mine are too noisy to use).  I basically refuse to buy used 6DJ8s/6922s at this point, since they are such a "risky" tube noise-wise.  JMHO!

If you can, try to find some that are new in box!  I've found a lot of bargains that were 100% new

FWIW, I have about 60 6DJ8 tubes right now, new in box ... I sold all of my non-noisy used Amperex for <$10/each, and put the noisy ones in a box for "testing" purposes or for sticking in old test equipment.

got any more to sell?

got any more to sell?

Nope -- I just have my "private reserve lifetime stock" at this point (and a bunch of noisy junk tubes)
