Hi Allen,
This isn't so outrageous. I just sold a bunch of used 4-1000A's for an estate.
All I could
test were the filaments, and I had a buyer who was willing to pick them up. I
sold them
for $25 each. Who knows how much life, if any, they have in them? The guy
probably got a
few good tubes, but it's a risk. There are a lot of these around, and as far as
I know the
only ham amps they are used in are homebrew ones. So $25 isn't ridiculous.
I have bought s-500Z 'pulls' from a reputable seller who can test them. I
received the
tubes with documentation from a curve tracer. These were about half the price
of new ones,
and it makes sense in this case.
