Clearing Out Tube Cache

[Mister Pig]

Time to clean out some misc tubes. A Rowland amplifier has convinced me thhat I won't be returing to tubes anytime soon. There are some interesting things here. All tubes have light use, and often were just rolled for to hear thier sonic flavor. Some tubes boxes are in less than pristine condition. I bought these tubes to listen to, not for an investment. The first number is the quanity of the tube available. Ok here it goes

6- Sylvania 8417. Rare out of production power tube. These tubes have no hours on them. Just ran them through a basic tube tester, and all test extremely strong. Current NOS tubes sell for $65 each. Sell for $20 each.

12au7
2- RFT 12au7. Only a few hours use, my preferred tube of this type. Excellent German tube. $15 each

1-Ge 12au7
1-Sylvania 12au7 little use. $8

1-Telefunken 12au7 little use, but logo has worn mostly off $8

6922 & variants

4- Edicron 7DJ8 My back up set of pre-amp tubes. Have maybe a couple of hundred hours of use. The best sounding 6922 variant I have encountered. Sweet mids, even tonal balance, excellent imaging. One of my favorites, currently selling for $25 to $35 each. $10 each

2-Tungsram 6922 Just rolled them to get a feel for thier sound. nice tube. White boxes. Upscale sells for $140 each. $50 each

6-Older Sovtek 6922. Tough markings to read. Havent logged any hours to speak of on them. Only rolled them to get a feel for their sonics. Good respectable sounding tube. $5 each

4- Sovtek 6922. No hours placed on these. $5 each

2-Audible Illusions 6DJ8 Handpicked Sovtek. Minimimal hours. Were a set of back ups at one time. $8 each

3-RCA 12ax7a Few hours put on these. Always was a fan of RCA 12ax7 tubes, sweet sounding and nicely detailed. Factory packing. Bought as NOS, used them for about 3 months, between 100 and 200 hours. Lots of hours left in these. Tube Depot gets $$150 each for these. Sell for $40 each

2-EH Gold Pin 12BH7. One of the better 12BH7 I ever encountered. These were my back ups. No hours to speak of. $10 each

2-GE 5963. No hours on them $8 each

5687 1 each: RCA Tungsol GE Minimal hours on them. $8 each
