    I'm not swapping tubes out very often now days and it's time to see if anyone wants any of these. Don't need to sell all of these, just want to put these out there for a few weeks if anyone is interested. Tube flippers, etc. need not apply.

    Not very up to date on current tube pricing and I don't remember how much I paid for most of these now. If I'm way off say so in PM and I'll work with you.

    +$15 to shipping per order for as few or as many tubes as you want.
    Prices are net to me.


    INPUT / Other:
    Unknown 12AU7, but based on internal structure, I think it's a Philips. Gray plate. Can provide pictures - $65.
    RFT 12AU7 - $20
    Tungsram Hungary 12AU7 - $25

    6N1P Triple Mica - pretty solid Stellaris / Stratus input tube - $80
    6N1P NEVZ (62) - probably a top input tube for the Stellaris / Stratus, but this one is slightly noisy on an intermittent basis - about 1x per hour, I'll get a little noise for several seconds before it goes away - $60

    POWER:
    Matched pair, black plate, spring top RCA 2A3 - I added about 50hours to these. Thought these were too good to casually use when I got them... now I've settled on just using new production tubes in my Stellaris. $390

    [[EDIT: Matched pair]] RCA Black Plate 2A3, non-spring top - If I had to guess, I added about 200-400 hours. $290

    [[EDIT: One single]] Thomson 6080WA (French production) - box and paper wrapped around tube inside the box felt like it physically hadn't been opened before when I bought it. I maybe added 50 or 75 hours. $45
    EDIT 2: I have another Thomson 6080WA - $10: Both felt new when purchased - the box didn't seem like it was ever opened before and the paper and paper mesh that both of these tubes come wrapped in from the factory felt like it had never opened as well. However, this 2nd Thomson 6080WA developed noise within the first 50-75 hours. Deoxit did not help but I kept the tube because I know sometimes it may be random tube weirdness - i.e. I have swapped supposedly noisy tubes with people before and had no noise on my gear and vice versa. If you want this tube as well, it's $10, which is pretty much just the extra shipping costs I will incur having to go to a bigger box. No refunds if this 2nd tube doesn't work - you are basically gambling if you buy this 2nd one.

    [[EDIT: One single]] 6H5C - No idea how many hours were on it when I got it, but I didn't have or hear any signs of the tube wearing out, etc. Was used my favorite power tube in an old BH Crack I had. $40

    RECTIFIERS:
    Tried these in my Stellaris for about 10-20 hours as they give a pretty different sound from most 5U4G tubes, compatible per Donald, but preferred current rectifier.
    CBS 5AS4 rectifier - $30
    RCA 5U4GB rectifier - $20

    SOLD:
    2 single EH 6922 tubes - $10 for both SOLD - Oops I made a mistake and these were actually Sovtek. Long story short I glanced at the internal construction and though it looked like the current(ish) production EH without looking closely at the printed section on the tubes. (EH and Sovtek are made at the same factory).
    RCA 5U4G Black Plate, not sure but I think it's 1964 production - $75 SOLD
    Amperex 7308 USA made (gold pins) (6922 compatible) - EDIT: WITHDRAWN, I forgot that this is actually part of a matched pair... may decide to sell the matched pair later on if I change my mind. EDIT2: Buyer fell through
    Matched Pair 6DJ8 Amperex Bugle Boy - O getter - $175 - Sold

    Edits:
    Prices adjusted slightly on 2A3.
    Prices adjusted on 6N1P variants.
