Ah, louisx...you beat me to it - the moment I saw "email for prices" I suspected the worst LOL!!

Stocks worldwide are indeed very rare...and those who do hold some know it only too well, alas!
 
Great luck - and infinite patience! - is indeed  paramount in stumbling across some 'sleepers'...

 
The higher priced pair are also probably thus because they are the brown, curved-bottom base version...which are supposed to be even better than the straight-sided base ones, but this would appear to be very open to question!! I do in fact have one of these - the NOS Haltron labelled Osram 'sleeper' I managed to snatch for £60 on ebay, and when partnered with a straight-base GEC CV2523 I notice no difference whatsoever. Whether two curved-bottoms would be different, I don't know (but very much doubt!)...and I don't ever see myself being so lucky as to find another one for that money, alas...

...
 
And yes, the "epic" tubes are sadly beyond most pockets...unless extremely lucky!..but keep looking!! 

Hey hypnos1,
 
But I just can't help wanting a GEC 6AS7G in my pocket and you are correct, the £100 difference is for the curved-bottom. Quoting ebay sellers' word "The price difference is because the round based MOV tubes are more desireable", which made me laugh a bit for this reason.
 
I do find some used GEC 6AS7G which is at reasonable price (about £120 per each) from some chinese dealer while the claimed new one cost £160. Guess I will grab a pair once I'm going back to Shanghai for chinese new year early next year.

Moreover, I find there is another UK made 6AS7G called Teonex 6AS7G. Searched this key word in this tread, no one has ever mentioned. Want you experts to check it whether it is reliable.

Teonex didn't make valves, they re-branded other manufacturers' products, especially more recently from Russia and Japan.
 
Unless you are familiar with the internal structures of different manufacturers' valves you can't be sure of their provenance.
 
I would personally say the same about any tube purporting to be made by GEC which didn't have any indication on it that it was a genuine product.

Hi louisx.
 
Can't get any joy from your links to China I'm afraid...can you take some snapshots and details of the items and post them here?
 
And from what H13 says, those Teonex could very possibly be the misleading Russian "rebrands" (downright frauds, I call them!), so would love to see a picture of these especially, if you can get one...
 
Wishing you a happy weekend also...

Please fix the link.

Sorry for the bad link, looks like our "the great firewall" selectively ban your access to it. But here is the pictures for the new Teonex 6AS7G. 
 
I just find out that this seller is quite confusing me, he is uploading the Teonex 6AS7G pictures to the prodcut of GEC Teonex.  Is Teonex 6AS7G the same thing as GEC 6AS7G?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 
 

 

[louisxiawei]

Here are some pictures of a pair of used GEC 6AS7G that I may want to buy. What do you guys think? Genuine? Or still can't tell needs more detail? 
 
.
 

 

[UntilThen]

Looks genuine to me. 

 

[louisxiawei]

  Looks genuine to me. 

Thanks UntilThen, but you mean genuine from which set of pictures? The pictures of GEC or Tonenex? I have a feeling they are the same thing with different branded name. 
 
If it's genuine, I will buy them once I'm back, it's a steal costing £250 for a pair of used one.

In this case it seems to be.

 

[UntilThen]

The GEC for sure but the Teonex looks like the real deal too looking at the bottom getter.

 

[UntilThen]

  How much are  these going for? 

1649 chinese yen each. 

 
 
eh it's yuan.
 
Sorry for a pair. Which equates to US$247. The Teonex...

 

[louisxiawei]

In this case it seems to be.

Currency at the moment: Chinese yuan to GBP, which is approximately £190. This is the brand new unused one. I'm more willing to pay around £250 for the used one pair of GEC labelled 6AS7Gs. They still look like new. £250 for 2 used while £190 for 1 claimed brand new.
 
What do you guys think?

Thanks UT? Good price?

 

[UntilThen]

Thanks UT? Good price?

If they are genuine yeah definitely good price. US$247 for a pair of A1834.
 
Louis should buy both the GEC and Teonex. If they sound the same, he can sell off one pair.
