hogwylde09 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Geez...I have GE 5 star 5751, triple mica, darn near new lettering. Tests as new for $60.00. All of them so close in tolerance they all match. It's unreal the prices of NOS.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 NOS are harder to fine. Looking at some of the prices, new stock are OK with me, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogwylde09 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I just like collecting them. Just to roll them around in the Macs. And my son and I are always using them in our guitar amp builds. Now if I could just find that hundreds of NIB Telefunken EF86, or cases of Bugle Boy 6CA7. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogwylde09 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Oh, JWC. I found a guy at a flea market that told me he had some tubes. So he tells me where he lives, and I get to dig through his large boxes of tubes in his personal storage building. But the guy is looking them up on eBay as I sort through them. I get them kinda cheap, all the while, trying to explain to him what they are looking up are NOS, tested on calibrated TV7'S and the like. Wasn't going to give him $50.00 apiece. So I wound up with some very decent pulls, with obviously low usage.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I own Telefunke EL 34 and 6CA7 tubes and both are sweet with the right bias setting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogwylde09 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Mat do that. But first I have 2 people right here in this small town that I live in. Am told they have hudreds of tubes in several caddies. Some are even still in original boxes. Got to get my hands on these first.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogwylde09 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 The last pair of BB 6CA7 NIB, NOS. Put them in my Marshall, turned the bias trim pot all the way down, with bias probes attached, ready to take readings. One red plated immediately. Bummer. I did sell the other good one.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
