In Reply to: tubes: what does NOS stand for? posted by hukkfinn on July 29, 2002 at 15:08:28:
A new-old-stock or NOS tube is a tube no longer being made, but has never been used, so its condition is like-new, even though it could be old in age time-wise.The caveat is there are a lot of low-hours vintage tubes being sold as NOS. A true NOS tube will look like a brand-new tube.
