EBay bargains still out there

Posted by Ross (A) on March 7, 2014 at 19:49:24

I recently purchased a box of mostly tubes, along with 2 ST70 circuit boards for about $81 including shipping.

Ad description and preview picture focused on 5 "Suetlana" EL34 tubes in Winged C boxes, and a min bid of $69. Included pictures showed what looked like 2 quads of Japanese Matsushita EL34 and assorted 7199 and EF86 tubes. And 2 ST70 boards. I was the only bidder and purchased everything for the min bid.

I received the package today. Imagine my surprise when I found:

A quad of Mullard EL34
2 Matsushita EL34
2 Tesla EL34
1 Mullard 5ar4
4 x 7199
1 Sovtek 12ax7
1 US 12ax7

The 6 (not 5 as deacribed) Svetlana boxes contained:

A quad of US Fat Bottle 6ca7
2 unmarked Mullard EL34

I haven't tested everything yet, but if just 2-4 tubes test as good.....

Best,

Ross
