How times have changed I would have thought 1/4 of that price fair just a couple of years ago
These days it is indeed a fair price
If you get the chance , early military issue RCA 6080 are very good I prefer those to RCA 6as7g
Yes, they certainly appear to be genuine. That said, yes, nearly all of this particular vendor's listings are definitely overpriced. Be patient and a better deal will eventually popup.
Ive purchased from that seller. The key with them is to watch an item, and they will usually shoot you a discounted offer. For example, they are selling AF598 rectifier tubes for $229.00. I "watched" them, and received an offer of $150.00 from them. While I didn't bite on the 150.00 (yet) thats a pretty hefty discount from the original asking price.

I've put a couple things they are listing on my watchlist and have received offers shortly thereafter at substantial discounts too.
They sent an offer of $1800 for these WE 422A's originally listed for $3000. From obscenely overpriced to just regular overpriced. To @No Deal , might be worth seeing how much they'd "offer" for the 5998's if you put them in your watchlist. If they come back at, say, $300, counteroffer at $250 (which would be a very good price for a pair), and see what happens.
So far ive been unable to negotiate with them on their "discounted" price. I countered @125.00, down from 150.00 and it was rejected, no bargaining, no back and forth.
I got this really nice pair of 5998 bottom getters for 300$. Good deal I would say.
I'm not sure if they are like WE421a since they have a bottom and top O getter.. They seem to have the same gain factor.
5998 Top getters are a little louder.
I don't really understand the measurements and can't tell if they say NOS.
But tubes seem NIB unused.
Can someone tell what the date codes on the 5998 mean ?
