Hi guys. New to the forum and I need some advice. My grandfather who passed away some years ago was an electrician and recently, going through his stuff, we found two boxes of vacuum tubes. I’m an audiophile myself but I have no equipment to use or test them. My wife catalogued them into a document which I will attach. She only did one box so far so I’m asking if anyone can tell me if these are worth selling or anything for that matter. I cant say if they work or not but they seem to be in good condition with many still in boxes. Any help is welcome. Thanks much

T

Here’s a link to the pdf since it’s too large to attach here:

@virustwin - Just a thought, below is a link to Brent Jessee's website (tube resller) , reputable man from my purchasing dealings with him. On the linked page you can use it to link to further pages of tubes he carries,. You may be able to find the ones that you have and determine their respective retail price ( assuming he has them ). Worse case , you can contact him and see if he would purchase them at a price below retail. Good luck whichever way you proceed.
