there are still people who put more faith in used but still good testing tubes, rather than untested NOS
Dang... don't forget to take out the chassis and the transformers! Speaker might be worth something too.
Where the heck do you live? Somewhere near the corner of Valves and Mains in the town of, "Amplifier-ville"? 😕
Very much looking forward to these projects;
33 & 303 first and 22 & IIs afterwards. The 22 looks like a fair amount of work!

Probably won't need to do too much work on the 33 unless you are missing boards or want a slightly different sound as you can buy the aftermarket boards and populate them yourself.
The 303 can be a big job depending how much you need to do to restore them (we're back to that now, aren't we?) or how far you want to modify them (new speaker output posts, recapping, changing the trimmers, to upgradinging with the power supply and replacing transistors).
Might want to start a new thread with pictures of your newly acquired Quads with sand.

The 33 and 303 will be a recap and dodgy resistors job - I'll also add trimpots to the 303 and mod one of the 33 boards to handle a contemporary line. other than that (initially at least) I'll leave any other mods alone.
That should see the 303 up and running so I'll have something to listen to while I spend time gently resuscitating the valve gear.
The 303 and the Quad IIs aren't here tonight so I'll up some photos and open threads in the right place once it is all over here at my study.

The valves i found today are as follows;
8 x Mullard ECC83
1 x Mullard ECL82
1 x Mullard EZ80
2 x Mullard ECL86
1 x Mullard EF86
1 x Mullard EZ81
They all look in top condition nice and silvery - need to find a tube tester around Cornwall in the UK - then think up a nice DIY build to use them in.
