FS: Sony V-FET's 2SK60/2SJ18

For sale 2 pairs of 2SK60/2SJ18 all in the same 55 rank.

I subscribed to this forum since my Sony Ta-5650 failed. I bought it about 25 years ago secondhand, I later found out that the precaution upgrades were made so I did not worry.Unfortunately now 4 of the 8 vfets are gone and I don't really have time or money to do something about it or even build a push-pull triode's amplifier.
Only thing I know that these are really hard to get these days.


I tested the Vfets according to Service Bulletin No.62. I do not have the equipment for deeper testing but according to registered user soundhappy they should be ok if they pass the diode test.


If you happen to be from Switzerland you can come and test them in Zurich.
Or I can redo the (limited) testings on a whatsapp video call.


I am selling them here because I think they will be in good hands then.


I really need some money because of the covid disaster, so price I ask is 250 € + shippingPayment with PayPal.


included:
- the 4 good Vfets
- 8 original thermo spacers (only four used), two of them are not so nice but probably ok, see photos
-16 original screews (only 8 used of course)



First person who PMs me will get them.


Cheers

Transaction complete

This message is to "publicly" confirm the good reception of the transistors.

It's been a very nice transaction:
Items are as described, packaging was perfect, everything went quick and easy and very friendly. Thanks !

For information to others doing private sales with "near-EU" countries :
The French customs applied a 15 euro tax - apparently a new regulation, where they randomly tax parcels, whatever the declared value and content.

The final price got a bit high, but I got great reliability and quality in return.
So I'm happy with it.

Looking forward to the sound of the VFETs !

Cheers,
pilli
