We do everything we can to save our international customers money!
LOCAL PICK-UP: Local pick-up is welcome in our Huntington Beach CA (92647) Warehouse. Local Pick-up is CASH & CARRY ONLY. NO OTHER FORMS OF PAYMENT ARE ACCEPTED FOR LOCAL PICK-UP.
TUBE TESTING: All auction Tubes are tested on one of several testers; our main tester is a Dan Nelson calibrated TV-7D/U. We also use the Hickok 799 and B&K 707. Tube results are normally found in gold or silver ink on the tube. The results are for your reference and to compare against personal results. NO TUBE RETURNS WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT OUR TEST MARKS INTACT…Do not remove test results until you are 100% satisfied with your purchase; this can be accomplished with alcohol or acetone (nail polish remover).
SECURITY MARKING OF AUCTION ITEMS: Many of our Ham Radios, Test Equipment, and other high dollar components are now marked with secret & sometimes obvious methods, such as tamper proof labels. We have had to start doing this due to a rash of buyers removing & swapping needed parts with their own faulty components and returning items. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE WILL AN ITEM BE ACCEPTABLE FOR RETURN IF IT HAS BEEN OPENED, TAMPERED WITH, REPAIR ATTEMPTED, OR SECURITY MARKER BREACHED.
VINTAGE ELECTRONICS SOLD AS-IS: The very nature of buying Vintage Electronics assumes certain things. Nearly everything we sell is 40 years old or more. When an item is sold "As-Is" this means, WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. These items are for DIY HOBBYISTS & COLLECTORS ONLY! When we say"Powered On, No Further Testing was Done" it means EXACTLY THAT! Do NOT contact us saying the treble control does not work; the volume control is scratchy, etc, etc, etc. NO ANTENNA, NO SPEAKERS, NO INPUTS were connected AT ALL DURING TESTING---WE SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE TIME TO TEST EVERY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT WE LIST. ALL "AS-IS" SALES ARE FINAL!
