Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:7019332 | Country/Region of Manufacture: United Kingdom |
Brand: Western Electric | Type: 101-D |
These are ORIGINAL ANTIQUE TUBES - not reproductions - still in their ORIGINAL BOXES. They are EARLY PRE-GETTER tubes with some darkening on the glass which is normal. Both test VERY GOOD for 101-D tubes at 36 / 28 and 32 / 28 on a Hickok TV-7 B/U tester - NO GAS - NO SHORTS - glass and ...metal base are tight and show light service. These commercial audio tubes were replaced on a regular schedule while they still had a long service life ahead of them. They have always been in their original boxes and were never used since they were removed from equipment over 80 years ago.
This pair of tubes are from my personal collection. They came from a close European friend who saved them as spares for many years. He only picked up the best tubes in the field that had seen light duty. They will perform well for a long time. These early British tubes were made to exacting standards with better audio characteristics than modern reproduction tubes.
