browsing ebay for tubes i see these 4 rca cleartops. but no bids and theres 20 hours left. the starting bid is 15 bucks are these fakes or something?

Maybe nobody was clicking the auction. i dunno. i guess they test good. i really dont know what the numbers mean though.

I dunno. take a look

Might be cause they are clear tops. People do learn.

The numbers are for the 2 sides of each dual triode and seem fine, if a little too balanced. I have never used that tester before. I use a friends tester which is nice in that it goes 1 to 100, has to be 50 or better to go into a military piece of gear.

Those getters look messed up to me from here. Kind of cloudy around the edges like overheating or something. My Hickok
6000 book and roll chart both give a 2200 reading for both sections. Kinda of odd but he has good feedback.
