Lyr 1 only bro IIRC, from what I have heard from the Bendix 2C51 I would pass on these if I could use em. Not sure of the differences between the 2 tubes though.

The only reason I’d buy these would be as a collectors item. I’d rather spend that much money on a better amp or at the minimum a pair of Telefunken E188CCs/Siemens CCas.

Keep an eye on those Siemens CCa auctions, think those are most if not all grey shields. Those Telefunken's E188CC could of been had at $300 and under 2 years ago when I got mine. Same with the grey shield CCa tubes. My pairs cost $225 and $250.

I have them on my watch list because of your heads up bro!

Went ahead and waived my 90% finders fee for obvious reasons.

Going to offer him $400 and see if he bites. I have a feeling he’s going to send someone to stamp a big Decline on my head.

Also purchased a pair of JW 2C51s from the 50s. Can’t wait to see what they sound like.

The late 40`s to early 50`s WE are quite good though I never heard any from 1954 on. I bought that single WE 396A, think it is a 1947 for $38 bucks. It tests about the same as the quad I bought. Going to see if I can find a match on the cheap or use it as a spare. Never heard the D-getter Siemens CCa.

I'm sending you some Methadone in lieu of those finder's fees I owe ya. You got it bad for those WEs.

If you'd heard 'D' getter Siemens CCas, you'd be the Kwisatz Haderach... or a Magic Eight Ball.

A little wonky on the test results, thus the price...? If I didn't have two pairs, I might be tempted. Thanks, Eight Ball.

Just re-read my reply to you. Your Methadone shipment might be a dose or three light.

Got a pair of WE pretty much always in the chain, sometimes run 2 pair at the same time. At least that is how I try to justify it. lol

Man tubemuseum again with the ridiculous auctions: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/292372061118?ul_noapp=true

That type of PCC88 Siemens construction was used in the 70s and 80s and it's dirt ****ing cheap. I got a few pairs I haven't even tried sitting in my drawer that I got for like 3$ a tube.
