claims using Don Nelson's cal-ed TV7 tested, also has a Sencore Hybrider (which I have no idea what it is), also claims they are "digitally matched", I have hard time to believe it is an honest mistake, of course we are all human.

I actually talked to the guy today and his name is Andy and he is real nice and he does landscaping and sells tubes on the side..He is 30yo and has been selling tubes since he was 14 when his dad found a box of 100 brand new 12AU7 RCA clear tops new in box at a garage sale for like 5 dollars and he sold them on line..The tubes he sells are all vintage and he is still learning after all these years but he honestly didn't realize because he took very good pictures so he wasn't trying to hide anything.
Now naturally if he was this super know it all tube dealer that some here think,he would know that selling those tubes could potentially damage his reputation..Would he really want to do that with the excellent feedback he has? I seriously doubt it..The guy only sells on ebay from what I gather and we surely would have heard something if this is a practice he regularly engages in.I can sympathize with him because I went thru a similar situation six years ago..It didn't snowball but life is a learning experience.

Micky,
You are one good man with good heart. Thank you for it clear for everyone.
Have a nice weekend.

You're a good neighborly guy :)
Thanks Jay
Would you believe his real name is Andy Bowman,the same as the other tube guy in West Mich. Andy Bowman has a stellar reputation for selling some of the best tubes on the planet and this young Andy has actually heard of him.

Mike,
Glad you took the ball and ran with it.
You are definitely one of the more sensible (and patient) "active" members on this forum.
Id like tho think so. Everyone deserves a chance and everyone makes mistakes.It's no reason to ridicule and threaten them over what some saw as a deliberate deception..I looked at all his auctions and they are all vintage NOS/NIB tubes and used vintage tubes..That's the only tubes that I saw that were Chinese but he writes the info off the tubes including the codes and puts them in all the auctions..His prices are very fair but I don't think he knows how to write up a lot of these tubes or what they are and I think he beats himself a lot of times..I told him I would help him out tho.

Pretty good, as I recall.
I don't know Hutton and I didn't know this Andy guy until Kevin introduced him so obviously these people can't be that well known and popular to know so much.
