Which tubes do you think you should have bought?

Posted by Mechans (A) on July 29, 2012 at 13:50:17

I started this as a complaint about 7316 prices, but realize it would be more interesting to hear from people which tubes they would have bought more of when prices were lower. I know everyone will say which one wouldn't you have bought?? but try to be reasonable and go back only a decade or so for prices and availability.
My rant
I sign up for e-mail alerts from ebay when 7316 tubes are first listed. Almost every time I see one for sale it is about $150-per. I have been collecting for almost 10 years I would guess and I used to pick these thinkgs up for maybe $30 a piece rarely more sometimes less. I bought some right here for very reasonable prices. To add insult to injury a lot of these tubes are regular 12AU7s which have been relabled. Oh well I am just ranting needed the release. I have enough of them I think for now and the future so who am I to complain.
I wish I bought as many Raytheon Windmill Getter 5751s!
