FS/FT: Tubes

Time to clean out some tubes. Open to all, low balling / excessive haggling with be ignored. If prices seem a little high for a particular tube it's b/c I'd rather keep the tube than sell for less than the listed amount.

All tubes were allowed 15 minutes to warm up before use while in my possession. Photos, date codes, and measurements at time of purchase available for some tubes.

Prices are net to me and include shipping w/ insurance in lower 48 states only. Will ship to AK, HI, Canada or internationally if you are willing to pay for extra shipping and possible duties/customs costs (which we can figure out in PM). Shipping for now will be via USPS unless otherwise requested - surprisingly USPS has been the most reliable for me during this time, will ship within 1-3 business days of payment.

9/2/2020 EDIT: TEMPORARILY ADD $3 for shipping via Fedex or $5 via UPS on all orders. No USPS right now due to increase in delays + lost packages via current USPS political drama. Do not interpret this as a political statement of any sort and I will remove this temporary increase once things get better.

Tubes for sale/trade:

[Received Vali2+, 4x 6BZ7 + Bugle Boys + Sovtek 6922 withdrawn for now]
6BZ7 tubes x4 (GE, Sylvania, RCA, CBS) - $25 for all the tubes or $8 to pick one out. I got these to tube roll input tubes but prefer the 6N1P family in the amp. Not sure if these can be rolled into Starlett - ask Donald first. Can also be used in some amps that need 6922
12/17: TEMPORARILY WITHDRAWN FOR VALI2+, may go back up for sale later

Amperex Bugle Boy ECC88/6922 matched pair - $200 photos and info also available to confirm authenticity
EDIT 9/6: Bugle Boys currently not for sale - may end up keeping for LC if other tubes don't work out.
12/17 TEMPORARILY WITHDRAWN FOR CAVALLI LC, may go back up for sale later

Sovtek 6922 x2 - Came as a pair, not sure if matched tubes or not - $10 for both tubes together - sell as add on to order

From BH Crack, see comments here: https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/bottlehead-crack.120/page-23#post-264247
Svetlana 6N13S - Free, was DOA for me, but I'll include this for free if it fits in the box with any other tube if you want it
Svetlana 6N5S (reads 6H5C if using English alphabet) - $25
Thomson6080WA - $30 for both. 2 tubes, but 1 only worked about 25% of the time for me (said tube is marked)

Unknown 12AU7, looks like a Philips from what I can tell - $25
RFT (Germany) 12AU7 - $18
Tungsram (Hungarian) 12AU7 - $25

Already SOLD, keeping for reference:
RCA Blackplate 5U4G - $35 - 1958 production, CBS labeled (OEM production by RCA), originally purchased from Brent Jessee
SOLD - WE396a - $50 Bought some a long time ago and forgot... have too many now.
Gold Lions - Purchased new from Upscale Audio - $60
Matsushita 7DJ8 - $50, purchased as NOS from Upscale Audio (from what I have researched, the increase in heater voltage is not a problem in most amps/devices that normally use 6DJ8/6922 family tubes and the tolerance in spec puts them pretty close anyways.)
Sovtek 5AR4 - $15
EML Mesh 5U4G - $175 - Last guy added 100 or so hours, I've added about 10.
Telefunken (West German) ECC88 matched pair - $335 - Actual Telefunken mfg (not contracted mfg tubes). Real Telefunken per all research I've done, included "outward facing" diamonds on the bottom. I added about 150 hours? Measurements from time of purchase available if you want them. Yes, they were expensive for me too.
Tung-Sol 5U4G (old, not modern Tung-Sol) - $35 - code 322530-3, originally purchased from Brent Jessee
Raytheon 5U4G Blackplate w/ (rare) flat plates - $40 - Benedix labeled (OEM by Raytheon) code 280 (Raytheon) and 0-17 (1940 or 1950, 17th week). Has rare flat plates instead of standard ribbed plates.
EH Gold 2A3 matched pair - $100 - I would actually keep these for Af if I didn't have 6 other pairs of NOS 2A3 tubes for Stellaris and Af already. I added about 20-30 minutes to these, previous owner/s didn't use them much either from what I was told.
Brimar 12AU7/CV4003 - $55


Stuff I want (can pay cash for differences):
HE6se cable (balanced via 4 pin XLR)
Verum 1 or 1.1.
Possibly an Amperex 5AR4
Socket saver for 5AR4

 

found/added a few more tubes + minor price adjustments

 

My Stratus would be interested in your RCA Blackplate 5U4G.

 

Smooth transaction and quick delivery. I would have no problems buying from fp627 again.

still active - withdrawing other tubes for now and maybe for good, pretty much just BH Crack tubes left. remaining tubes are pretty much the best inexpensive tubes for BH Crack IMO.
