If this tube is not what you are looking for, please look at the other tubes we have in our store you can search on the type number. When searching our store please do not use the tube type suffix. For example 6SN7 instead of 6SN7GT due to limitations on eBay’s search engine. How we test our tubes: Before we ship any vacuum tube, each tube is fully tested on our calibrated Hickok 539C tube tester. Every tube is tested for shorts using our Hickok 539C Ohm-meter. We don’t neon test for shorts, as it isn't a sensitive enough test. We test the tubes for shorts hot and cold to 50 MOhms. All tubes are gas leak tested to ensure the reliable performance of the tube. We test all tubes for mutual conductance (sometimes referred to as trans-conductance) including each section, if applicable. Hickok 539C provides a minimum acceptable mutual conductance. We will not sell tubes that only meet these minimums. Most tube manufacturers provide new tube mutual conductance range(s), and we test to these range(s) instead.We also life test every tube. This is a test where the filament voltage is reduced by 10%, which gives an indication of the future performance of the tube. We discard any tube that does not meet the life test. If any test results in failure for shorts, leaks or open filaments, we discard the tube, and won't ship it. Tube and box condition: Most of our NOS tubes come with original boxes. If an NOS tube description does not it will be packed in a new, standard white box. If any NOS tube has an original box in very poor condition we will pack it in a new standard white box. Since we open all boxes to test them, sometimes the box flaps or tabs are damaged.
