That are the codes on the metal plate? They look like Siemens to me. Have you looked for a faint CCa on the first tube? The codes on the plate will tell you they are Siemens. But thwhag e CCa and E88CC will have the same codes from what I remember.

you mean this code ?

My gut feeling says pass, no proof the left tube with no paint is a CCa and the 2 CCa have different change codes and possibly different years. Euroclag on eBay sells the Ao revision with grey shield on eBay. Tube A0 is considered the best by many. You can ask in the thread here if a anybody wants to sell a pair.p

Just picked up another pair of Heerlen 7316 D getters, another 1 from the same seller. Phenomenal tubes, both my BO were accepted. No need to bid.

Still waiting on mine from that seller. He dropped them in the mail on the 5th! They're on the slow boat from Canada. Lol. Expected to be here Thursday.

Any thoughts on Telefunken ECC82/12AU7 smooth plate tubes? I don't own any TF's and am curious if these are worth a shot at less than $100 for a pair.

Thx!!

Defiantly a fuller sound than other Teles I've listened to. Can be slightly bright on the top end depending on listening setup. One of my favorites for instrumentals and rock. Quite revealing and a keeper in my book.

Thanks.

I have a pair of Siemens CCa that I could let go for 200$ made in 1965 test over 100% on Gm on my tester and 90-100% Ia (13mA). Haven't shipped to Indonesia though so not sure how that goes. I think it's a fair price considering most matched pairs on ebay go for 300$+ nowadays. But if you want to hunt I feel like you can score a better price if you buy singles and have a tester (always risk involved though ).

For the Telefunken experts or anyone who might know what are you thoughts on these?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Matched-pair-Telefunken-ECC802S-/163640109419
Seems really inexpensive for Tele ECC802S, something fishy about these or do they appear legit
If they actually are legit then I will bid on them! I am too new to know about the Tele ECC802S.

Thank you for the help! It is greatly appreciated!

I don't know much about the ECC82 but these are Siemens tubes you can see the etched codes on the side.

What are the prices on ebay for ECC802S generally?

What are the prices on ebay for ECC802S generally?

Generally in this range around $750-$850 a pair

I was looking closer at the tubes that are supposedly real Tele ECC802S and the internal construction is different from the listing I posted, so not sure what the one I posed is.

If you're going to pay that much you can buy from http://www.nostubestore.com/search/label/ECC82/12AU7 - EUROPEAN BRANDS , I've bought 5-10 pairs of various tubes from the throughout the year, they ship from Turkey but their tubes are amplitrex tested which is basically the best.

Edit: my Dam Son reaction was meant towards the price of 750-850$
