Very curious. Writer's block ???

There are no more Tele G73Rs listed @ TubeDepot .......
Of course, rarity just increases value, even if they turn out to be not HG tubes.
"Telefunken" + "rare" = Insurance

Yup, the G73R are 'out of stock'.
I called TD after I received my pair to see If there were more available, even at their full price of $800/ Pair!

Anyone want to buy a pair of G73Rs? I have 12 pairs and can let them go for the bargain price of $2400 a pair.

Nothing. @TK16 hoarded all the good tubes and refuses to share. The usual.

How have you been?

All? Vast majority would be a better word!

I hate these Tele ECC801S tubes. They have made every tube in my collection obsolete.

In all seriousness, plugging these 801S into my Woo WA2 reminds me of the first time I plugged in a pair of TS5998's. Everything suddenly woke the frick up.

That is my review. Carry on gents.

I've got Cash $$$, pairs of '57, '58 Blackburn ECC82 and , PayPal funds, Bitcoin (kidding on that one!)

I'm in for 2 pairs at $4800, yes they ARE good!!!

What about backups for the backup pair? Cheapskate.

Cheap Long Plate Mullard ECC82 quad. 3 Blackburn, 1 Mitcham. Goal post getters.

I'd jump on these normally, but I do not want to validate @bcowen statement that I'm a tube hoarder.

Or these inexpensive smooth plate Tele's:

Think of yourself as a tube 'consolidator', not a hoarder, and then you can keep buyin' them up!

Not tested on a Hickok so they have to be junkers, IMO of coarse.
