Avoid eBay. 50/50 and not worth the risk to the gear. I have bought lots of vintage tubes from several sources. Those listed above are all top notch. Add Grant Fidelity - sells the spin-off brand from psvane - should be trusted. For eBay, I’ve had luck with all the rectifiers I’ve purchased but not so for input tubes or power tubes.
Tubes
Im looking to for replacement tubes for my Mastersound 845, 2 of each
Tubes in question: 6SN7 845 ECC802
I bought WE replica 845 from PSvane
now I need 6SN7 and ECC802
I saw new 6SN7 Tung-sol on eBay for about 50$ for pair. There are also vintage Tung-sol on eBay. Not sure how to proceed here. Is eBay a reliable source for tubes? I like their quick shipping and confidence in returns in case something is wrong. What other sources are reliable for aforementioned tubes?
