Letting go on my GEC 6as7g for the 2nd time at US$500 does seem a mistake now but I've move on from the 6as7 / 6080 range.

As long as you're going to 300B's instead, I'll sign your hall pass for you.

$1000.00 GEC 6as7g w/ saucer getter + Schaefer

Saucer getter? You mean like a UFO getter? Or said another way, a $15 Svetlana relabeled as a GEC?

Well you better sign the hall pass then because my 300b is being made right now.

Since there’s no GEC 300b, I’ll just get Genalex 300b instead.

You should keep them. For when you get another 6AS7/6080 amp.

Consider them an investment that a burglar wouldn’t steal as they wouldn’t know what they were.

Well you better sign the hall pass and backdate it because my 300b is being made right now.

I know where he can find another - in Bulgaria:https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NOS-GEC-...217597?hash=item2d2b135cfd:g:3msAAOSw5lZgXRo3

Even if you left the GE tubes in an open box labeled “free: help yourself”, the burglar would pass...

Ah you tempt me Leftside. Perhaps there will be another parallel 6as7g amp in 2023. Then I can use my 5998/6as7/6080. And 6336b? Maybe.

That would be hilarious. I think burglars need to go for a course to find out what's valuable. Picking up GE instead of GEC would be a stigma on burglar reputation in the dark world.

I haven't heard the Genalex. They may sound good....for Russian tubes. But don't spend time fartin' around. Just get some WE's and call it a day. These first generation reissues are quite good.

At that price I need to fart around. Didn't you know that the Genalex Gold Lion current production tubes are the best at the $500 mark? There's no peers. This is the real apple. The rest are just pears.

Thanks to gibosi.... He has just save me some money. These are real right? Matched pair of WE300b at $1500. Seems too good to be true.
