From ad:
"SHIPPING: I include all tubes that you see in pictures but due to age I dont give any guarantee for tube, consider it as gift and not a part of the deal."

OK, but they are included and may not even work?
Could be the case.
More red flags in this ebay offering than I have seen in quite some time.
STC 4212 Tubes are included and they works fine.
The problem is shipping from Japan to U.S and these tubes usually have fragile filament after being put into use.
By the way, guys. The 4212 tubes are the same as the 212 tubes by WE and Amperex. Price may be abrud by they are available once in a while on the auction site.
And the new production is being made by Chinese Psvane factory. The modern day 212 version of WE amp is also made by Line Magnetics (may be the better Chinese version).

A link to a Nori Komuro 212 build.
Yep, seen them before. Kumuro rocks but for 45K a pair, he could have put all BG caps in them. BG heart of muse were cheap and abundant at the time he built them.
While I liked the 845/211 sound, I thought such as the 212E is the way to go. But really, there are BIGGA Triodes out there at more reasonable price and easier to obtain than the 212. I really like the Japanese 4212SE amp though. But the gold coins is something less than time I have so I'll just built me some Bigga SET. Parts are here. Time is scarce but coins more so.

You should be able to use the KR T-1620 in those amps. Or the W.E. 308b if you can find any.

308 is rarer than 212 by a large sight, and not the same tube either. KRs - doubtful, at least not without changes.
The T 1610 was created to replace the WE 308b in the Cary amp.
I sold my WE 308bs to this guy who said he would use them in his 212 amp.
I can't imagine is would take too much adjusting of the circuit.

Given I have seen an amp capable of running 845 and 211, the 308 and 212 could run in that same sort of amp. There is the same 2:1 plate resistance and mu difference.
