Really stupid price for valves IMHO!

They are good--but are they 3 Grand WORTH Better than an equivalent new production....?

I very seriously doubt it!

The price of these things seems to have jumped severely in the last few years, dunno why!

IF (whatever) has 'W.E.' on it--even if its a rusted out hulk of scrap--Some idiot will pay a fortune for it!

Just buy a decent tube..

If you think the tube is magical..you are mistaken the circuit is the problem.

Normally a decent tube of new construction when its past its infancy stage is as good as most others.
