The seller’s write-up
What’s in the lot
This listing is basically for one new Electro-Harmonix 12AT7 tube that I mistakenly purchased from The Tube Store for $8.95 and never used — I meant to order a 12AU7 instead. I’m clearing out my “leftovers” drawer and I found 4 other preamp tubes in there somebody might be interested in.
The one 12AT7 marked “CBS” may have been a pull from either an old Fender or possibly a Wollensak reel-to-reel… I can’t remember. The 12AU7 and the CBS 12AT7 may be of some interest. The lettering is very worn on all the used tubes (see the photos).
Condition
I do not have a tube tester, so I can’t speak about the quality of or life left in any of these tubes (except for the new 12AT7). When these used tubes were pulled, they were all working. If I have a totally defective tube, I generally pitch it. Most likely, these got orphaned while working on an amp or pulling tubes from a dead chassis. No guarantees except on the new tube.
Why it was for sale
Getting rid of the leftovers. As they say, I am “thinning the herd” and minimizing the gear I have on hand to the bare essentials. If you need a 12AT7 or you like to swap your preamp tubes for different sounds, I encourage you to bid.
$1 starting and NO RESERVE. Current new retail price for an EH 12AT7 is about $9–10.
