Need tubes? Scroll down for a list of new production, NOS, and great used tubes. I have stocks of many
hard to find NOS (new old stock) audio, guitar, and radio tubes, and the inventory changes often.

Virtually all tubes (even new) are carefully tested on my Amplitrex AT-1000, TV-7 or B&K 747 testers.
Power tubes are run in and tested/matched at real operating voltages, not just with a tube tester.
BTW, NOS means new old stock, ANOS means almost new old stock, and NIB means a new unused
tube in the original box.

Orders, questions, suggestions?

Drop me an e-mail at jimmcshane@mcshanedesign.net ...As much as I'd like to, I simply don't have time to accept phone calls.
In special circumstances I'll try to provide some phone help, but there just isn't enough time to speak to everyone in
person. I'm often not able to even answer the phone. So please do email me instead, you'll get better service!

paint chipped, etc. from age & handling. I also have about 3 used that are new or near new testing used for $9.50 ea. Note: My small

Very Important Note! The only tube I recommend (or guarantee) as a reverb driver in guitar amps is the

(1) 12AT7 GE, NOS branded Philco in old Philco box, date coded 35th week of 1951, one of the oldest
12AT7s I've seen. Grey plate, square getter, a rare tube! $29.50.

stapled plates and copper getter ring supports, these are really fine tubes. I have (2) amp grade tubes - these tubes
aren't quiet enough for phono or other low level use but will be fine for use in a line stage or power amp, $44.50 each.

12AU7 and Equivalent Types...

(1 left) Genalex Gold Lion B749/ECC82/12AU7 reissues This tube has warmth and body, the noise level is very low, and microphonics

12AU7W/6189 Tung-Sol new production tubes, excellent quality and tone, a very pleasant surprise! This tube is a really good choice and
at nice prices too! $21.50 each (1 left n stock).. 

(2) 12AU7/A Tung-Sol, 1 12AU7 used/tests about 150% of minimum, "D" getter grey plate, nice tube, $19.50.

(1) 5963 RCA, as above but in the original RCA box, slightly microphonic, an o-ring damper cleans
it up, excellent for line stages or power amps, $8.50.

(2) 12AV7 Tung-Sol NOSmedium mu dual triode, about the same mu as 12AY7, cheap too. These use the same
pinout as the rest of 12**7 family. Try 'em, you'll be surprised, $8.50 ea.

balance, nice tube in a white box, $13.50.

(1) 5965 GE, ANOS large grey plate tube in a white box, branded Beckman, $6.50.

12AX7/ECC83 and Equivalent Types... note that the 5751 can be used as a sub in many cases, but it has a
lower mu specification - 70 for the 5751, 100 for the 12AX7. I don't recommend it as a sub in phono stages.
Also all my 12AX7s are noise tested - many other places charge extra for that testing!

Rare Tubes! 12AY7 GE, NOS tubes from the late 1950s to 1960 or so, all are grey plates, most with rectangular getters. All have been
run in and carefully tested - including testing for low noise and microphonics. I have (2) matched/balanced low noise amp grade with round getters

12BH7 Electro-Harmonix; the NOS supply is getting so thin that I decided it was time to bring in yet another excellent quality EH tube. Nice
section match, low noise, a very fine tube. Just $22.50 ea. (1 in stock) or $45.50 for a matched pair (2 in stock)

(2 matched pairs & 1 single tube) 12BH7 Electro-Harmonix Gold; especially in vintage gear I've found the added thickness and enhanced contact
of the gold plated pins makes a real difference in the quality of the pin-to-socket contact. So if you do a lot of tube rolling, have a piece of vintage gear,
or simply want to have the best possible contact with your sockets grab this tube! $33.50 ea. or $67.50 for a matched pair.

(15) 12BY7/A RCA, many are all different construction though, so don't wait if you want identical tubes. $24.50 ea. A few nice used are available for $11.50 ea.

"Received the valves today, installed them this evening, simply fantastic. I must add my sincere appreciation for the
superb service level provided by yourself." Enzo, from Australia.

I had received my 10mar05 tube order no more than 2 days after your receipt of my payment and
I can say that your matched sets are prime (you must listen to a lot of tubes pop as they hit the
bottom of your trash can)! I wanted to say that I will be a return customer. D. Dwyer, USA.

Guarantees and Returns!

Tubes may be returned only if defective. Note that most tubes returned to me are NOT defective, but have either
been damaged in use or had poor contact with the tube socket - or were installed in an improperly biased power
amplifier. Bias procedures for Citation tube amps can be found on this site, for other amps please consult the
manufacturer's data or a qualified technician. Failures caused by operating tubes beyond their dissipation limits is
not covered by the warranty, sorry.

Please note! Tubes used in Audio Research (ARC) gear other than the original equipment brand and number
(with the exception of substituting EH for Sovtek tubes) may be warranteed not to be DOA only. There is no other
warranty whatsoever - check on the specific tube when you order if you wish. Original equipment brand and
number tubes carry the normal warranty described above.

While I strive to give the best advice I can regarding what tubes are best sounding for a given application, each
system and listener is different. It simply isn't possible to guarantee the tone will be exactly what the purchaser
expects. I cannot sell tubes "to try out" or for "auditions" without significantly increasing my prices, which I
don't want to do. I cannot accept returns of tubes you bought for an amp that was later sold/gave away, decided
not to use, etc.

At my option, I may offer to repurchase the tubes at a mutually agreed upon price, but there is no obligation on
my part to do so.

This warranty covers only the tubes and parts purchased from me, and is limited to replacement (or refund) for
that specific item. Resultant damage to equipment is specifically NOT covered.

To request a return please email a description of the problem and the date of purchase. I'll reply ASAP with
instructions on the return procedure. You are responsible for shipping costs on returning items, I cover return
shipping back to you. Please pack the tubes well when returning tubes. Tubes returned which are poorly or
inadequately packed (padded envelopes are not adequate!) cannot be warranteed. Please include a copy of
your email requesting return in the shipment and your return shipping address.
