Save on low grade tubes!

Some tubes fail testing because they have a weak output, are leaky, or have a minor defect such as a missing cap. These tubes can still be usable to experimenters, as backup tubes, or in an undemanding service may still operate as well as a new tube. We offer them here at a reduced price.

Don't see what you need? Contact us. We have many more tubes that are not yet listed. We also have new and good used tubes in most other numbers including preoctal, globe/balloon, octal, loctal, miniature, subminiature, metal, power, transmitter tubes and many more.
