Found a box of new tubes! *pic*

I wonder if I can build anything with these... Any desirable tubes I should check for? It could be that none of them are useful. I found a tube tester with them too, so far the ones I checked were fine.

Some of them are very useful. However, with very few exceptions, the rest of the components to build an amp are orders of magnitude more expensive than the tubes. It almost never makes sense to build around a tube just because you have it. That said, a pair of 6BL7's would make an excellent push-pull spud amp.

You can look them up here http://www.mif.pg.gda.pl/homepages/frank/vs.html
