"All they'd say is it was a good tube"

Sounds sketcky to me... Thanks for your help though! I do appreciate it:-)

I will say this - I have had nothing but highly positive experiences with Australian tube sellers on ebay. Some of the nicest folks I've ever met are from Australia and I've done several auctions with several prominent Aussie tube sellers! A couple of them actually threw in FREE tubes! A Sylvania VT-231, a 6SN7GT, and a VT229/6SL7GT to name a few! Very nice people AND - Australia produced some of the best valves ever made, namely AWV [Amalgamated Wireless Valve Co.] - REALLY nice stuff!! It helps me that some people are afraid to buy from the land down under, as the best stuff usually sells for much less than it would if it were sold here in the States.

I guess that's why it bothers me to hear bad things about Sellers from AU! However, I went to another auction run by these same people for the same set and # of 12AX7 tubes, days later from the one in question, and guess what? Same thing - Double the price! Yes, the opening bid went from $20.00 to $40.00 overnight!! No photos, no info., no meaningful response... Geez! Probably just rebranded tubes from Russia - - Man, I hate the bullshit:-0!

Thanks!

and Take Care,

Brian M
