[Amps] URGENT - suggested prices for 4CX5000A , SK-300 in Europe?

[Martin Sole]

What might the rebuild cost for such tubes be? Presumable way below new otherwise it would seem hardly worth the effort.

Can the 10000 series, 3CX, 4CX, also be rebuilt.

Martin, HS0ZED

I just sold  a pair in ebay ,USD300/pair.But these need to repair.I think it worth
$200-300 if in good cndx.  I had contact with the socket manufacturer in China , they quote $900!

See what the core is worth to a rebuilder to set the minimum. Its a very common tube over here and $200-300 is typical for a pull as there is a minimal market for used ones except CB and hams.

Good sockets can easily be twice the tube as commercial stations also bust them up on a regular basis and need one pronto without going into hock from Richardson Bandits, Ltd.
