In Reply to: Somedays tube hunting goes better than others posted by Permanent Waves on September 12, 2021 at 07:08:28:
Around 12 years ago I saw an ad on Audiogon or Audiomart, can't remember which, for a box of miscellaneous tubes for $250. The ad was written so poorly it was impossible to understand what was in the box but there were a few hints and I was feeling lucky.
When it arrived there were more than 30 tubes. The most interesting were four Ei KT90 Type 2s in white boxes and fourteen RFT/Siemens El34s in Realistic boxes. The rest were an odd assortment of 810 tubes and various small signal tubes. At the time I didn't realize how valuable the Ei tubes were and sold them for what I'd paid for the whole box, along with all the other tubes I had no use for. I had the El34s tested at Audio Connection in Seattle and all were in excellent condition. I included four of them in an amp I sold but still have six, but no amp to use them in. If I'd been more knowledgeable about tubes at the time and prescient about their potential value I would have rented a safe-deposit box and held onto them.
