6L6GAY for sale

Brand new NOS/NIB Sylvania 6L6GAY beam tetrode tubes/valves/Röhren. As all good stuff comes in uneven numbers it is a lot of 5. All new, never have been powered up except when they were produced. The boxes are worn because of me wanting to look at beauty the past 3 decades. There, I admitted it.

Good stuff apparently made by an early LHBTQI+ community in 1951 in a factory where devices were produced that brought peace and democracy.

If you want these then make me an offer I can not refuse by PM. No tube tester here but it is very likely that JAN stuff was made according specifications and also to last. No guarantees but I do guarantee they will be packed very well and definitely shockproof. These just wait to be used in a nice design. 73 Years old but new/unused tubes and no Chinese knockoffs with fantasy names made of recycled refrigerators, these are truly the real deal made of pure materials. By virgin angels in moonlight. You will have a veil unlifted and blacker than black background 😀

EU ONLY!

Still available. These tubes were made for use in military stuff and therefor have ruggedized/reinforced sockets. They are like delivered then to the US Army/Air Force. I never powered them on or the like. They are New Old Stock/New In Box from surplus military stocks of the US Army bases in Germany.

We did use/abuse these in guitar amplifiers 30 years ago and these lasted much longer than the average 6L6.
