Did he open it up to clean it out?

Dang. If only he had a matched-quad, then maybe.....

He also sells Magic Cards.

Don't knock Magic cards. I played the game with my kids years ago, and collected a bunch at the time. They are now helping pay for a new kitchen.

Lol, I don't think he is as dumb as that other guy :lmao:

 

[ivan100000]

I just checked back, and astoundingly, someone actually BOUGHT it. My brain is sprained.

Dunno...maybe I'm out of the loop and either there's a collectible value for dead tubes, or there's some way to use them for parts or repair that I don't know about.

Watch, the rocket scientist who bought it will find out it works, and return it Not As Described.

Every now and then I thought about selling off some dead tubes just because somebody might want to make or craft something neat from them, but it always bothers that someone unscrupulous would stick them in a "working" amp and take advantage of someone.

But dropping $50 on a dead EL37??? It's a neat rarish tube, so maybe $10 for one with sweet Mullard graphics.

Now if someone spent $50 for a dead GE 12AU7? THAT would be crazy...:yes:

People buy coffee that monkey's **** out, who cares.

Maybe he was just lacking a cosmetic tube for this beast! (currently on the GW site - top bid so far is $34.03) Can't imagine any of those tubes actually do anything audio-wise.

Actually, it's a Civet Cat.

But, you're spot on with the mechanics.

Yeah I know , I was generalizing lol.
