I have a friend who buys/sells tube down here, and he went to look at an estate with a bunch in the garage. Looking throuh the cases of new and loose bottles, he saw a lot of NIB TV tubes, along with the usual suspects of rectifiers and 12A*7 stuff. But, in a box of loose tubes (mostly audio were six engraved base WE 300B. The owner said, "I dont want you to take all of those new tubes, you have to take some of the used ones as well.

Since he doesnt have a tester that will do four pin tubes, he brought them over and they all tested strong. They sound good, but not that $$$ good. I would rather have EMLs and pocket the difference. He made ~$4k each on a $500 total investment.
