WOW :yes: That would be a find of the century for many of us tube rollers :yes:

Man now those are valuable in my book and I thought I found a buy 2 NOS Mullard 5AR4's 25$ at a local auction a long with 10 6SJ7 metal base tubes a fave pentode tube to use with 300B amps.

But your find is just awesome! :thmbsp:

My self I'm into harmonics and the 2A3 is one of the best at conveying this for me of course there are others like the 45,50 and so on but the 2A3 is a power house next to these.
