Hello. I will be listing approximately 100 of similar tube lots over the next couple weeks. I want to mention that I had zero knowledge of these vacuum/electron/radio tubes until I purchased hundreds of them last weekend. So if my listings are off or a little confusing, that could be why, lol. Most of the tubes seem to be well cared for, stored indoors and appear to be in great shape. Some appear to be mint/near mint, some lightly used, some have nice matching box/tube, and some have no box at all but look new. The daughter said her father was a radio repairman in the late 50s and 60s and was well organized. The boxes that the tubes come in are old and even when I carefully attempt to open some of them they are tearing, so I may not post all the tubes in a lot because of the box condition.
The constant positive with this collection is that whatever the original part number that’s printed on the box (or if he wrote it on the box) that’s been the corresponding tube that has been inside the hundreds of boxes I opened. The item numbers on the box & tube almost always match > but often the box itself is from a different brand than the tube inside (But numbers match).
I am also selling some larger bulk lots because I simply didn’t have time to open all the boxes and inspect each tube. Way too many for me to sort and research. Therefor, there are likely some great deals in these larger lots because I just don’t know the values of them all.
Please note that these items are being sold as untested and are being offered in their original (as is) condition. Some tubes have a box with them, some don’t, some boxes are in great shape and others are falling apart.
I hope you can find what you’re looking for and get some good deals. Send me another if you have any questions. Thanks for looking, GC
