The best tester is the circuit it's being used in. Bottlehead has specific values of voltages when doing testing, as long as those are within limits the tube and amp are according to spec, nothing more nothing less.

Tubes in the crack will last a long, long time. Come to think of it, has anyone had a new tube fizzle out from use and needed replacement?

I had a “NOS” tube that went white on arrival. The seller quickly send a replacement tube.

Yes, they are genuine GEC 6080s, the stickers do not matter, their internals are the same as my GEC 6080s.

However, the Vietnamese seller hanoitubes is very sneaky, as we've discussed on him earlier. These GEC 6080s seem new in box, however, we'll never know if they test new. The seller has a TV-7 tester, but he will never tell you how well his "NOS?" tubes test ...very sneaky

I believe @jonathan c once called the seller's definition of "NOS" tube as No Operating Status instead of New Old Stock...lol

So Caveat Emptor!

BTW, the stickers are okay, Marconi Wireless Telegraph is part of the GEC group.

Thanks for the help.

He doesnt have any bad feedbacks but I guess the tubes are overpriced.

sadly i cant find the discussion about him with search function of his name.

@Renexx Not only are his tubes grossly overpriced, but also notice how many of his listings have "Watchers". I suspect they are artificial watchers to try and create interest. All of this just IMHO.

You could almost buy three pair for that price.

BangyBang also has 100% positive feedback, and I wouldn't allow him to send me tubes for free. That's a ridiculous price to boot, as are the prices in all of hanoitubes listings.

This hanoitubes is carbon copy of Bangybang/Menifee, charging ridiculous prices while providing no tube test info....and 100% positive feedback...LOL

Most of us here are not clientele of these vicious sellers.

But there are always newbies and dudes with endless money to squander, that's why these Bangybang's can still survive

Fake. Most of the lists has one left.

Are these bendix 6080 with solid plates relabeld to tungsol/chatham or tungsol 6080 in later revision?
