For $156 I’d probably hold. I think you can find a better matching pair for around $150-$175 shipped. Not just test results but date of manf. And matching logos. If youre spending a lot, get what you want.

Some of these sell in small lots of 3-5 for a pretty good deal. Just keep watching. This might be a better deal for an English man

Good call...I didn't read the testing #s, yeah - I'd definitely hold out more for a closer match. Still - I just checked, and that listing ended too, so someone jumped on it.

Couldn’t help myself… already own a few of these.

Dang, man. We're gonna have to change your username to 'thievermans'.

Hey, you can buy one for $39.95 and I will throw in a free NOS tube box. $49.95 and it ships for free.

LOL! What a deal! Unfortunately, I just spent the last of my audio allowance on some crack for the Tung Sol. I'll probably be up for 2 or 3 days straight listening to it.

An Englishman took it like @therremans suggested

Nice! Yeah, without the conversion...at around 100 for the pair, it's definitely priced right for you!

Just purchased this Melz from Ukraine for $50. Now I’ll have a backup as I only have one.

What about the backup to the backup to the backup ?

'Thievermans' strikes again. You should probably get a mask...and a cape.

Seriously, way nice! Do you know what year it is?

No, didn’t ask the year but his other ones listed are for $100 ea. This one was only $50 because it tested just slightly below nos bogey value of 9.0 mA so he marked it as used. It tests at 8.2 / 8.6.

I’ll take that $50 savings as it’s still a nos tube as far as i’m concerned.

I don’t know, I kind of like the moniker “the tube bandit”… or “el tubo bandito” (given by @JKDJedi)
