Went Thrifting today and came across a small box of tubes, good thing is they are almost all desirable tubes.

There's one apparently NOS 6SN7, two more used 6SN7's one of which is a JAN (Mil Spec).

Others are a 1U4, 35W4, 50B5, 6U8, 12AX7 (nos?) etc, alas the Mullards are not Mullards at all but some used tubes, they are at least 12AU7's.
They were asking $2 a tube but sold the lot for $20 so it was a decent deal if they are all good.

Great score! I know where a local "electronics" retailer is that still has an entire room with a full stock of tubes. As consumer audio/video repair, home stereo and CB radio interests became obsolete or unpopular, this business converted to catering to the high powered car stereo in order to stay afloat. I need to see what they would take for all those tubes, but I already have a ton that I need to get rid of. Most particularly the later TV tubes like Compactrons and the like....
