I take all claims of "NOS" with a grain of salt. Occasionally you do stumble on the real deal at old TV repair shops and the like but that is very rare. I would not trust ANYTHING from ebay to be true NOS.
I prefer to buy (used) test as NOS tubes from reliable suppliers. The best sources are local guys found at Hamfests or online locally that I can meet in person and bring my tube tester along. There are some reliable sellers on ebay and other internet sites like Jim McShane's, Canuck Audio and thetubestore. Some suppliers like Partsconnexion have actually let me come to their offices with my tester to make sure I was happy. There are good people in the tube business and if you find them they can be a treasure. Never argue price with people like this. Unfortunately there are also a lot of people out there just looking to make a fast buck any way they can. These are the people that give "NOS" tubes a bad name and scare people away from trying them. Very unfortunate.
