You are bidding on a complete set of NOS tested tubes for All American Five (AA5) radios, consisting of the following miniature tube variants: 12AV6, 12BA6, 12BE6, 35W4, and 50C5 ( we have other NOS tube sets for AA5 radios listed in our store).  One set equals 5 tubes in total as noted above.  This set consists of various brands, depends on what we pull from inventory; this means you might receive a NOS RCA 50C5, a NOS Sylvania 35W4, etc.  The brands will most likely not match within the set, but all will be NOS.  The photo is representative of various trays of tubes in inventory, we sell too many of these sets to continually update with an actual photo.  However the set you receive will be guaranteed to test good, guaranteed to be NOS, and the brand/type of the tube will match the tube box it ships in.  If you want to substitute a tube just let us know at the time of payment (such as a 12AT6 versus a 12AV6 etc).  Note that we ship each tube set in an outer shipping carton; we DO NOT SHIP in padded envelopes to save on shipping costs.  You can be assured your set will arrive in good working condition.  Know what you are buying (verify this is the correct set for your radio as some used different tube types even though still a AA5 radio).  There are no returns but guaranteed to be as described.  As noted, your bid is for (1) tube set consisting of the five tube types listed in the description, the trays shown in the photos are illustrative of some of our stock only, you WILL NOT receive the entire tray.  Thanks for looking and be sure to check out our other listings for items that may be of interest.


All our tubes are tested and guaranteed by us; we only test tubes on one of our quality calibrated mutual conductance testers, NEVER on an emissions tester.  The testers we use are Phil Frakes's Bitmatic computerized Cardmatic testers from Tubesontheweb, the specific models are Western Electric KS-15874-L2's which were made for Western Electric by Hickok; we currently own two of these testers.  Our backup testers which we use occasionally are military TV-10D/U's.  For specialized tests, we employ one of our VTV Dual Triode Characterizers (for preamp tubes) as well as a Maxi-Matcher (for power tube matching).  Tubes are guaranteed for 90 days, refund or replacement our choice. Thanks for looking at our auction and be sure to check out our other auctions for other tubes that may be of interest. (lot AA5, NVX)
