Vendor feedback thread

 

dBtubes  - http://www.dbtubes.com/

 

I haven't seen any previous threads about this vendor, so here is my experiences with them: 

 

dBtubes has a site with a good layout, with good prices and a huge inventory. But on a whole my experience with them was negative. I ordered matched tubes, the shipping was slow (I think that was out of their control however), but when I received the tubes none of them were marked or paired in any way (so they probably never got matched). 

 

Also the condition of the tubes were below my expectations, I understand "NOS" tubes may show signs of age. But the ones I received were in very rough shape, looked like they had been stored in a damp and moldy warehouse for too long. Patina and rust, the bases dirty and miscolored, and the boxes in generally rough shape.

 

However I might just have been unlucky, so I figured to give them another chance.. But this time I wanted to make sure that they really have matched pairs available of the tubes I wanted to buy (as the last time I had paid for matching, but just recieved loose tubes), so I sent them an email.. and yet to this day no reply confused_face_2.gif

Three weeks after placing an order from this merchant, I finally received a Raytheon 6sN7WGT.

No box. Tube was filthy and grundgy.

Half the tube (one channel) does not work. Supposedly NOS and matched sections.

Seller has not reponded to emails either directly or thru PayPal (6 days now).

Tube was clearly identified on website as New Bulk (without box), not New Old Stock (boxed), as claimed by buyer '24phun'. We offered in writing on several occasions to re-test  the tube on Amplitrex AT1000 tester, and replace it. We love dealing in 60 year old electronics, and are here for the long haul !
