Check out this find, TUBES GALORE! Anybody got $1500 to spare. I bet there's some tubes we could use somewhere in there.

Not even close to a "find" !

I just got near to 500 mostly NOS for $200 cash

Mullards, RCA's etc......
Two pairs of NOS 6L6GC RCA bad boys worth way more than my original investment !
Then there was the absolutely brand new 1960's Mullard quad of EL34's NIB
Now that was a find !!!

Not bragg'n trust me I give credit where its due !
That was a major Blessing !!!!

Better bring a Hickok or a TV-7A/U along when you go to inspect that "haul"......

Maybe I should send him a lowball offer, just to see what his bottom dollar is. But I wonder, just how many of those tubes can be used for amps. I could always go check them out. I'm only out gas money.

OR, I could buy them all, and sell them cheap to my forum friends and take a major loss!

A pity that the seller does not have an itemized list of the inventory available for perusal......
