I recently purchased a Bendix 6080WB with slotted graphite plates and felt extravagant spending almost $130 on a 6080 tube, but $2000 for a pair is insane! I wonder how they sound though...

It's funny how the metal plate ones cost more than the graphite plates.

Just because some crazy vendor on eBay is asking US$2000 doesn't mean that they are actually worth that much, or that he will be able to sell them at that price. lol

Can you count the 7236s?

There must be about 7,236 of them there, obviously

Don't believe what people tell you, this pair just has to be soo much better than any other RCA 6AS7g tubes ever sold.

At that price they are a steal.
(But who is the thief)?

LOL! That seller needs to start a comedy troupe and pair up with wege_high_tubes. They could make a fortune keeping even novice tubeheads in stitches.

The tube cryumvirate: cartago_delenda_est, wege_high_tubes, Bangybang. Understudy-in-waiting: menifee. Their prices bring tears to eyes, fears to wallets. Plus, ‘get a wedgie with wege’ !! …

How did I leave out BangyBang? Damn irresponsible of me.

I messaged him with a low ball offer saying he was embarrassing himself , no reply

You have to be reasonable. That pair is almost as good as a quad of GEC A2134. And they only need two sockets while A2134 need four. You need to see the whole picture.

Wait....the seller can be unreasonable but I have to be reasonable? That is so unfair. I hate this hobby.

Is this worth my $150 ?

They look like my General Electric 6AS7GA. I was given that for free.

No! It is just a pair of GE 5998A.
I don’t know what the difference is between this tube and the 6AS7GA.

Thank you. You just save me $150. I do have a pair of GE 6AS7GA. At best it's unforgettable like Nat King Cole says.

Was going to buy it because it's IBM !
