LARGE GROUP (55 TOTAL) OF TESTED USA 6AS7G AND 6080 VACUUM TUBES - $250 PLUS SHIPPING
I have accumulated a lot of these, and I no longer have a use for them so it is time to go. I prefer to sell these as a group, but will consider offers to split.
I may also consider trade (see interests below), but these tubes are priced at a decent discount so please keep that in mind when offering trade value.
I have screened all of these on a recently repaired and calibrated RCA WT-110A tube tester. This tester is very reliable, but unfortunately only gives qualitative results. I have reported the results as an approximation (to the nearest 0.5) of the meter reading. The meter goes from 0 (low) to 10 (high), with the green (good) starting at 5.5. I do not know what meter reading 100% is intended to be, but experience tells me it is generally around the 7-7.5 range. I am willing to test a few on my Weston 981 III on request for confirmation if desired (takes way too much time to test them all).
The complete list with test results can be found at the following link (Excel format):
http://home.comcast.net/~baileyler/6AS7List050609.xlsIf you happen to get a logon screen for some reason at the link, just hit cancel. If you can’t work with an Excel file, let me know and I will try to convert it to something else.
There are actually 58 tubes on the list - three of 6080s look good but have apparent issues and will be included for free.
A number of these tubes appear to be NOS, and some are clearly not, but it is difficult to say for sure from inspection and test results. I prefer not to speculate and misrepresent anything. Most of these tubes were sold (or traded) to me as NOS from large dealers (that I no longer trust).
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Please note that any tubes will be sold ‘AS IS’; however, I will guarantee against DOA. I can provide pictures or additional info on request.
PLEASE NOTE THAT I CANNOT GUARANTEE (OR EVEN REMOTELY PREDICT) HOW THESE TUBES WILL SOUND OR PERFORM IN YOUR EQUIPMENT. THE TEST RESULTS ARE ONLY PROVIDED AS AN INDICATION OF TUBE PERFORMANCE IN A VERY LIMITED (AND NON-IDEAL) ENVIRONMENT. OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH ABOVE, I EXPRESS DISCLAIM ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THESE TUBES OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR USE OF THEM.
Money order/cashiers check/personal check preferred, but all must clear my bank first. I also accept Paypal for convenience (but add 3.2% to the total).
Specific trade interests include SACD and DVD-A discs, a USB DAC that is 24/96 capable, and a few types of 12AT7 tubes (7728, Sylvania GB6201, ECC801s). Other things might be of interest as well at the right value.
I am willing to ship globally but, outside of the USA and Canada, more stringent payment and shipping conditions apply. In any case, the buyer is responsible for all shipping charges. Shipping weight on these will be on the order of 20 pounds. I prefer to ship via FedEx ground, but can ship any method preferred by the buyer. Contact me for a quote.
Please check my feedback on Audiogon, Videogon and Ebay (ID=baileyler) and buy with confidence.
