    This is for friends only as of now.

    I have 6 3 NOS pairs of the Western Electric JW 2C51 396A tubes for sale.

    Here are the date codes for each pair:

    1. 326, 326 (2nd quarter 1953)
    2. 226, 426 (2nd quarter 1952 and 1954)
    3. 713, 926 (1st quarter 1947, 2nd quarter 1949)
    4. 5952, 5952 (4th quarter 1959)
    5. 126, 126 (2nd quarter 1951)
    6. 352, 352 (4th quarter 1953)

    I am looking for $110 per pair shipped (CONUS).

    The Lyr 3 cause me to sell my MJ2 and (soon) my Vali 2 so I don't need these awesome tubes anymore.

    do you have any measurements (by the pair), in addition to the great year matching?

    @jexby would also like tasting notes too. Which ones sound like coffee and blueberries?

    Hi, if you’re happy to send to the UK, I’ll take pair no. 6. I’ll pay the extra shipping cost obviously. Cheers, Jonathan

    I am not really inclined to ship out of the USA. I'd rather hold on to them than do the paperwork required to ship abroad.

    Sorry!
