ummmm.... no! These NOS testing tubes one is missing the center-pin & to me the gettering shows some use. also, notice he doesn't say NOS outright anywhere, just "NOS testing". insane... |

They will most likely be delivered by a horse drawn cart to a castle in the remotest mountains of europe where they will be used for slingshot practice by young count alucard IX ..........the video will then be sent to a rival count who needed them to keep his great, great, great grandfather's brain in the basement alive with them......that kind of thing is common over there.....  |

If they're spending that kind of money on tubes, they'd better know how to hook up the directional cables right.

I have given away old used tubes... I've never considered trying to sell them. I guess that is why I'll never accumulate any wealth.  j. |

Yeah I missed that , what the heck is tests as NOS With 7 bids this early they might jump up a bit more, I'm watching to see I suspect they were trying to make the claim these are testing at the levels that a NOS tube would deliver. :shocked: Went for $1413.
Even IF these were NOS, I'd be afraid to spend that much, let alone the starting bid, and use them.... NEW production tubes can be expensive enough. |

Personally, I think that was their Idea, and when it was realized it wasn't... :protest: well, "The ad only says it tested as NOS, not that it was." A bit of deception :evil1: for those who don't pay close attention. |
