This tube tests NOS but the original box is missing. I have provided a box. It is in perfect condition and tests NOS.

This is the one I like for my 12AU7 applications. This tube is DEAD quiet. They always are. I have never seen one that is microphonic. CBS tubes are the real "TOP SECRET" audiophile nuggets. Don't tell anyone. Keep them all for yourself.

Nice CBS 12AU7. Tests wonderful. That is all.

On my tester a B&K 747 tester:    Below 55 = BAD      55-65 = ?     65 -100 = Good     100-120+ = NOS  

  


  


I PERSONALLY purchase, clean, identify, test, and stand behind every tube on this site. I have a small company. You will deal with me personally.

I want to see you happy with your purchase. I will never sell a tube that is below standard……I destroy those tubes. I will not sell a tube that I feel will not last or has been abused. 

I have sold many tubes here on Ebay, and all my customers have been completely satisfied. I will work with you in good faith if there are any problems, or if you are unsatisfied in any way.

I want your business now and in the future, so I assume you are the boss, and I am the employee.

All tubes are tested for shorts, continuity, and emissions.

I prefer PayPal.


 



ALL CUSTOMERS PLEASE READ ALL NOTES BEFORE BUYING FROM ME !!

1.  RETURNS: It is my highest desire that you are completely satisfied with your purchase from me. I will bend over backwards to make sure that you are a happy customer.

If anything you buy from me is less than satisfactory, message me BEFORE you either open a case or hit the “item not as described” button.

If you want a return for any reason, I will give you back 100% of your purchase and any shipping you paid.

2.    PLEASE NOTE:  Tube silkscreen (lettering on the tubes) is VERY fragile. It can be wiped off and destroyed VERY easily. If you wipe off the silkscreen while handling the tube you diminish their value by up to 70%. DO NOT handle the tubes or hold them from the cylinder. ALWAYS hold them from the ENDS. If you are returning tubes and they are not in the same condition cosmetically I cannot give you a full refund. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

3.  UNLESS YOU MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH US BEFORE YOU PURCHASE, YOU MUST PAY FOR ITEMS PURCHASED WITHIN 2 DAYS OR A CASE WILL BE OPENED FOR AN UNPAID ITEM!!!

4.    Please note: The numbers given for gm are what I see on my tester. I DO NOT guarantee that you will see those numbers on your tester. I only guarantee that these tubes will test good, with no shorts, or gas, on a decent calibrated tester. I don't guarantee or imply anything else.

5. VERY IMPORTANT!!! Vintage tube testers almost always, due to age, have VERY LOW HEATER VOLTAGES!!!  Every tester I have ever bought is below 6 volts when selecting 6.3 volts. They average 5.8 volts. The voltage NEEDS to be 6.3 and 12.6. You can calibrate a vintage tube tester all you want. If the heater voltage is not right, you will NEVER get the right gm value. I have customers complain that their tubes are not the same as what I see on my tester. They say they have a calibrated tube tester. I have 40 tube testers. On all of them I have an outside regulated DC power supply that feeds the tube tester the correct heater voltage.

 

International customers note:

1. Please wait for us to invoice you for the correct amount. If you have purchased more than one item, we must calculate how much the shipping will be. Shipping will be HIGHER due to insurance and shipping methods needed for expensive item totals. If you are buying only one item this will not be an issue.

2. Under no circumstances will we state on a US customs a declared value of less than the sale price. This is an honesty issue. We are honest with everyone to the best of our ability to do so. We want you to trust that what we say is true. There cannot be that trust, if we make false statements knowingly to anyone. If your country has tariffs/taxes so high that they cause large numbers of normally honest folks to make false statements, we urge you to work for change of those laws.

3 International buyers if you bought more than one item and want combined shipping it will ship in 2 days.
