Do these look legit?

Sure. But I believe the price is for one tube.

They had been on e-bay for a while.

Really?

"GEC 6AS7G A1834 NOS pair 2 tubes"

"Pair 6AS7 GEC tubes. Tested on my digital Tube Tester.

Tube 1
First Plate A1-131.3mA S1-11,3mA/V Second Plate A2-108,5mA S2-10.0mA/V
Tube 2
First Plate A1 116.5mA S1-10.8mA/V Second Plate A2-93.8mA S2- 8.7mA/V

100% g1 = -20v, Anode Voltage = 80V = 120mA,

Tube Code SAZ, and SBZ.
They are never used, from Laboratory stock, with own box(not GEC branded)."

In standard English this states that the price is for one pair. But of course, it is possible that the vendor is not a native English speaker and is selling these one at a time and doesn't realize how misleading the listing is...

And if someone pulled the trigger and received only one tube, he would have a very good chance of getting a refund through eBay as the goods received would not match the description in the listing.

On the other hand, it might be a good idea to send a message to the vendor to ask for clarification: one tube or two.

He already sold one. Not one pair.

I have sent him a message and he confirmed that he forgot to change the description. Bollocks! I thought this is it!

What should be a reasonable price for a pair?

 

[whirlwind]

They are damn expensive tubes, anything under $400 for a pair is pretty good....like ken said, not uncommon to see them go for $400 - $500 a pair.

Man, at that price you are on your way to another fine amp by Glenn

 

[lukeap69]

Thanks Joe, however I am not willing to pay more than 300USD for a pair. I will enjoy my 6BX7's and 6BL7's instead.

They used to be $150 a pair a few years back

I wish it stayed that way. LOL

The round bottom GEC 6as7g are more expensive than the straight bottom ones. The price of the quoted tubes are OK, but the shipping kills the deal.

Glad someone still like the 6BX7 and 6BL7.

PS

Did they move the 6as7g thread? Seems we should discuss these kind of stuff over there.

Good to hear. I am working out a deal with the seller. Hope we will work something out.

Re 6BL7 and 6BX7, these are still the best tubes on my Darna for my Senn HD800 SD. Great tubes for small amount of money.

Yeah, I know, and at the current price it is hard to pull the trigger on them , especially when the 6BL7 & 6BX7 sound so good.
For the price that most are asking for those tubes, you would be well on your way to a nice down payment on another amp, or headphones or what ever.
The tubes do have a wonderful tone to them though.

Talking about MOV 6AS7's there are some rare ones with a black curved base.

I think gibosi has a pair of these, if I am not mistaken

 

[gibosi]

Yes I do.

Hi All,

I just received one of these amps in used condition, but the transformer has been tilted. Maybe during shipping? I gently tried to push back in position but I didn't want to force the issue. Any thoughts? I haven't turned it on yet. Looks like the transformer front and back plates can be removed by a simple wrench. I'm not so electronically inclined if it requires soldering once the plates are off to attach new plates.
