What sort of idiot would live in Budd Lake? Housing is not sustainable without dry land?

If, however, someone lived on a boat. Just sayin'.

This is @Ripper2860 's summer home. Appears he lost the oars again though...

These worth anything? Found one buried in the stash. Apologies in advance for the fake carpet...

Bit strange seeing a UK military paint CV2492 and seeing Heerlen acid etching. What is the 3rd digit starting with "7L" should be a letter or a number. Imo if it's an "H" would make it a 77. Off hand not sure if the KB/D is D might be Mullard Mitcham painted in 1987? for military use? Or I can be full o schiit. Large halo getter and Heerlen factory code should make it Heerlen Holland made.

Would someone be kind enough to tell me if these 6N23Ps look legit - https://www.ebay.at/itm/254417633949 Thanks.

Not quite. That's the quarantine dingy. I've lovingly named it the USS @bcowen .

Those are it, although very overpriced. All the 6N23P I ever bought from Russian sellers had at least 1 problem. Noise, microphonic, technically dead testing tubes, horribly bent pins masquerading as NOS. Lots of gunk that collects at the tube bottom. Estimate maybe 30% have major issues. Hope your pair is ok. You may love the sound signature on these hopefully, I did not personally at all. I had to sell all my 6N23P at a fraction of what I paid, was honest with the issues I had.
I would recommend a pair of socket savers (if you don't have any) and a pair of 6N3P to ECC88 adapters and this at a 1/10 of the cost of 6N3P.

Many thanks. The seller seems to have a 30 day return policy, so if there's any issues I'll send them back to Moscow. I'm really not familiar with the sound signature other than the very glowing (excuse the pun) description here. Whether they live up to that remains to be seen.

3rd digit after the 7L is either a 1 or an I. Very difficult to see. That mean anything to you?

I bought a pair a year or more ago, '75 silver shields and supposedly NOS. Glass was clear at the bottom by the pins, so if there was any use it was minimal. One tube had badly mismatched triodes, and the other tested fine. Not a bad tube at all, and for what I paid ($50 for the pair IIRC) a reasonable deal. At the prices being asked today, I agree there are *much* better sounding options for far less money. The same 6N3P adapter you mention will also work for Western Electric 396A's as well as 5670's, 2C51's, etc. I'd take a WE 396A over that 6N23P any day, but that's just my opinion and aligning with my preferences.

That's the USS MR. @bcowen to you, pal.

7L1 Heerlen would make it a mid 50's Heerlen PW E88CC. Have a 7L2 pair from 56. Possible it's an "I" though I have seen them go to 7LH mid 70's Heerlen personally. Mullards I've had were all 7L1's but they don't have the large O getter.
