I would have been shocked if he had actually done it. I would think he does a good job at Vintage Tube Services.Regardless of all this, seller clearly stated they were Philips for no good reason. And I don't believe that a guy that does 1400 transactions in 12 months, getting absolute top dollar for things that he knows are real and telling you why they are worth top dollar (triple mica, solid plates, XF2 codes, foil getter), just didn't know.
As to my comments about people claiming ignorance, that's exactly what they do. I know a seller there in Hong Kong that prints up his own boxes and re-labels used tubes as a course of business. If somebody complains, which is a small percentage, he simply refunds quickly and easily.
There are a lot of people selling good tubes on e-bay, but those that don't know the tricks of the trade like alluding to something being made in a country or factory when it wasn't, not photographing the getters, and giving measurements that newbies can't understand instead of simply saying "this tube tests fair"
As to who tests our tubes, I don't do it. It's done by Tamara Cox, who is the daughter of my good friend and advisor Roger Cox, the now retired Vice President of Fender Musical Instruments. She's been around it a bit and has superb attention to detail. I love testing tubes personally. It's very peaceful.
But I do look at every single order myself. Every one.
