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.

I have on Siemens D-Getter tube that tests amazingly well 17/18 mA. Trying to find one more is profving difficult under150 euro :D

Check out my new tubes guys:



I think that's the most excentric pair I've had :D

Have not done any listening to them just popped them in this morning, surprisingly they test quite strong.

Edit: Tube type is Sylvania 7963

That 5 pack could be interesting based off what the bids will be in the next few days. Poor description as that’s as vague as you can get. Might be worth the risk if it stays cheap.

Looks like I won’t be getting those JW 2c51s as the seller couldn’t tell me if they’re NOS, used, or how much life they still had left on them. Too bad since I really wanted to try them them out.

On the other hand @TK16 please don’t beat me but I bought a pair of those Bendix.

2C51`s? Why would I beat ya up bro?? Only if you do not pay my finders fee.

The Bendix 6385s *throws hands up*. Not the face please!

Reading around they look to be equivalent to the 2c51s. He’d also be fine with me returning them in case they don’t work out. Worth a try.

Had a strange discovery today, a while ago I had bought a batch of PCC88 tubes - quite a few in there, some used, some brand new. Today I opened one of them that I deemed undesirable before ( thought it's a 70-80s Siemens) because I wanted to use its box for another tube, but it turns out it's a Siemens PCC88 DJ2 #8E from 1958 with a Solid Disk Getter. So the tube doesn't test strong but damn I don't have a match for it. Here's a pic of what the getter looks like http://cdn3.volusion.com/gm5yp.bd2vt/v/vspfiles/photos/SH_E88CC_1958-5.jpg (except it's a PCC88 with steel pins and DJ2 code). Strange stuff definitely did not expect to find such a treasure :D Now to find a second one (even if crappy testing) to try to hear the sound would be great lol.

Nice find! That is one strange getter. Never seen a solid one before. Thanks for sharing.

I didn’t reach out since I purchased the Mjolnir 2 used and they were included in the purchase. It’s pretty great of you guys to drop in to make sure your customer are taken care of. I still purchased another socket saver from Tube Monger since they’re great but I’ll shoot you guys an email. Thanks CV4109!
