Don't these tubes come from the factory "pre-failed"? I mean, isn't their reliability worse than a clapped out FIAT?

Since they've got more tube types than crazy Bible names, how many people will actually know or CARE what they are?

I never paid more than 25.00 for a radio until the SAX-200 came along. Now it seems every 10.00 set is geared towards costing 50 in the long run. But I understand your POV.

PS As Trawlerman discovered, I do have a small stash of boatanchor pics archived, and I look for more when I find time. Hammerlunds look more comfortable and powerful than RCAs anyway. Hallicrafters is my sentimental favorite though.

73, and good day.

You have to remember this seller is dealing in the "audiphool" world, where the credo is "if it's expensive it must sound good"

That would be why I'm sticking close to my groups when I finally get my color roundie. You guys are awesome and have almost everything anyway!

6gh8 is the topic here.are audiophools even that stupid to pay 20.00 for 1?
and btw i got a bunch of nos 6l6gc for .50 ea at a hamfest recently.

If we could just convince them (the audiophools) that USED 6GH8's are even BETTER, well, then I can retire! Hmmm...also got a load of "pull" 6AU6's & 6SN7's, etc. Heck, I've got a LOT of stuff around here, come to think of it...most of it nobody wants, though!

I haven't had enough time to finish repairing the 2-3 tube sets that need it here...I've spent so much time moving SS in and out or onto the shelves/into service...and I'm just paying bills at this point. I'll be like the Blues Brothers' Plymouth Gran Fury cop car--it threw a rod and a 5 qt. capacity engine lost 30 qts. in the big chase scene...and they still got there!

certain 6sn7 are highly sought after by some audiophools.

Close but no cheroot, the Blusemobile was/is a 1974 Dodge Monaco with a "440 cubic inch plant"......."runs good on regular gas" which is a reference to it being the last year before widespread catalytic converters which mandated that only unleaded gas be used (this was when regular leaded or low lead gas was still available).

Don't get me started on the Bluesmobile! LOL Our Lady of Blessed Acceleration, don't fail us now!

Aren't some of these just TV sweep tubes anyway? Always heard they were as useless as tits on a boar hog...mebbe I oughta go mine my Tooob Junque Box & see what treasure I have.1974 Mopars-Doncha remember they caught hell at the time as having imitation 1972 GM B & C bodies ? I liked 'em, though. Wonder how many cars "The Blues Brothers" ate up? -Sandy G.
