6AQ5W for sale in pairs

EL90/6AQ5W long life beam pentodes made by Cifté in 1963 for the forces armées françaises. Best possible quality. These were kept in an underground weapon shelter and came up for sale a very long time ago. The person that bought the lot also had to buy the tools and jeeps. Which he did! Still have some NOS/NIB uninsulated French army pliers.

Word is that these were used in the reverse gear of military vehicles so they were of the utmost importance and therefor preserved in watertight containers. I even have some that have "tube condoms". No joke, birth control is a serious matter.

Make me an offer for these beam pentodes/Strahlpentodes/tétrode à faisceau dirigés that I can not refuse. By PM. Abbrassive PM is OK, I am used to something 🙂

This is your chance to obtain 61 year old true European top quality tubes/valves/Röhren. Sold in pairs or multiples of 2. EU only and preferably France. These should be yours, copins et copines.
