Re: Audiogon Tube Prices

>>"Whew! No doubt some fine quality tubes on Audiogon. But, prices on ebay are at times 50-70% less expensive for the same tube."<<

Buying tubes on ebay is like a crapshoot. Throw the Dice and take a chance. That is the risk you take for the sometimes cheaper price....

I am at the present time waiting on Paypal to finish their investigation for a claim I filed for a charge back from a gentleman in Germany.

I won a auction on ebay for a used pair of Siemens 1960s CCa tubes. In the ad the seller said he tested the tubes, and they tested very good. He even gave the test scores.
When I received the tubes I tested the tubes on my B&K 707, and B&K 606 Mutual conductance tube testers. Both tubes failed on shorts and Grid Emissions. Both testers rejected both tubes.
