I have had too many 'cheap' adapters from China.
I think I'll wait for Tube Mongers version. TM's may be available sooner than the 'Slow Boat from China' shipping!!!

The adapters from Tubemonger should be available in a week or so, as they had some issues with the first batch (I have been in contact with them via email)

They'll probably register about 300 on your meter at the x10 setting.

Dang. I was just about to Paypal you the funds for those Valvos. Oh well. I'll see if BangyBang or Menifee Audio have anything listed.

OK. Your 3D printed tubes are cheaper than BangyBang's 3D printed tubes, so I guess I'll send the order to you. Just hope your silkscreening is as good as his. :stuck_out_tongue:

They are mostly made with cheap Chinese high quality innards with custom printing service at no additional cost.

OK, cool. Print me one of these, would 'ya? Note seller's name as one to avoid. His listing stated "Tested Good." No numbers provided, but then I only bid $9.99 for it and won the auction with that (and free shipping). Arrived today. Minimum good for a 7N7 on the 752A is 400, and NOS 7N7's test at 800 or so. Triode 1 at 425, triode 2 at 250. Different numbers but same story on the 539B -- first triode is just a hair above minimum, and the 2nd triode is a goner. If this guy tested the tube (which I doubt), his tester hasn't been calibrated since it was built. These kind of sellers just really piss me off. If I didn't have a tester (or 4 or 5), I'd just assume the tube was good....

Bunch of ECC82 in the last 6 months I bought were awful testing. Some triodes were around 700 on a 752. My first Brimar 12AU7 pair from Brent had 1 tube at 1,800-1,350 were advertised as 2,200-2,300 and very noisy. Second Brimar had triodes under 1,000 and noisy. Finally got a single around 2,500 for $37 bucks.

What testing numbers on the tube you want me to put on your tube box??
