Assuming the tubes are NOS, then the 5751 tubes are worth between $180 - $199 and the 12AX7 tubes are in the $90 - $100 range.
A bit more than half that amount if they are well used...
The 5751 tubes are among the best sounding 12AX7 type tubes ever made.

My goodness...this is typical of my recent ebay experiences.
One of these is quite good. Low noise, sounds great. The Raytheon windmill getters, that is.
The other? Well it has a fairly bad hum. Not going away with warmup.
Well, I guess for the price I can't complain. I got ONE good tube anyway.

Well, I paid less than half that for the Raytheons, and paid exactly that for the Ken Rads.
They were advertised as testing NOS or better.
We shall see!
Thanks!

Interesting.
I see a guy selling many pairs of 5751 windmill getters with sales between $60 and $100 .
Assuming his TV7DU is calibrated and the tests are proper, many of the tubes are close to NOS GM of 1,200 - which is 48 on the arbitrary scale and a setting of the B scale.
Enjoy!
Yeah, as a complete layman here, I thought the prices were really good.
We will see. I have been similarly excited about other purchases, only to find one tube is outstanding, and the other hums like crazy...
