5AR4 rectifier tube question
@avanti1960  I can't really see the notches from the pictures provided, am I missing something?  Also, it the f31 or f32 on the glass somewhere?  (That is a good price, going by the numerous others I have looked at.) Thanks/Matt

@rodman99999   I may be beyond a therapist.  But I have been outbid on one of the Mullards and so far I am restraining myself and not bidding any higher on it. @jpmanomet  I just did go to Ness Tone Tube Sales, and right now, if I did my search c...

Oops!   I just checked ebay . . .  bids in TWO more auctions--both on Mullards.  LOL!   I hope I don't win.  
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?
Do you feel that the libel, slander and defamation law of torts violates freedom of speech?  
5AR4 rectifier tube question
You've got it, @rodman99999 ! You should see all the "audiophile quality" CDs I have bought on ebay after a hard night in my listening room with a bottle of wine. I think I only have one more bid placed in an ongoing auction--this one is for a NIB... 
Is the Shuguang 5AR4 any good?
Thank you, @dekay !  That was an interesting read.  I did note that @rodman99999  had used a tall bottle, and I actually turned down an offer on a tube that the seller had listed as a "tall bottle" because I wasn't sure if there would be enough cl...

@avanti1960  as in four notches (teeth?) per-side, or four notches/teeth total?

I need to stop visiting ebay when I’ve been drinking; I just won a bid I placed on a Holland Amperex 5AR4. This one was not branded as a Bugle Boy.

Is the Shuguang 5AR4 any good?
@dekay thank you and I just shot you a reply thanking you for the advice. If you don’t get it, it is not because I am impolite when someone takes time to educate me, but for some reason it triggered a message warning me "Conversation added to Mo...

@rodman99999 thanks! I did a quick skim of the URL you posted & I quickly caught this from one of the people who answered on one of the forums: The Mullard GZ34 has a hole in the guidepin and the upper micas have 5 teeth per side. On a new N...

Okay, @jjss49    that seals the deal.  The Chinese tubes are not happening!  
5AR4 rectifier tube question
Cary could have made a removable access panel for the tube in the side of that power supply. But, @rodman99999   I should have read your reply more carefully before I took it apart again and then put it back together.  I seem to believe in measur... 
5AR4 rectifier tube question
@rodman99999  the UK Bugle Boy arrived today.  I can not find any actual ETCHING in the glass, just what is printed on the glass.  It does state that it is a Bugle Boy "MADE IN GT. BRITAIN" and in very light, hard to read print, underneath the "5...
