Home Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

You mean to imply, gasp, that some folks on the internet may not be 100% honest?

Wasn't a big deal when buying $5 NOS tubes 10 years ago. Some were NOS some were not, whatever. But if you are looking to shell out $100s for a NOS tube, you might want to find a legitimate seller rather than a generic "found these in grampa's attic" dude.

By the way, looking at "pin color" tells you nothing. Heavy scraping can tell you it was inserted in something, otherwise pin color says more about storage conditions and how the box was interacting with the pins over the last 50 or 60 years.
