Ling shot i know but Does anybody know much about the market fir them?!!

Found A LOT of them In my grandads tool shed when we’ve been clearing the house last week.

I’ve got a batch that are in original boxes and literally a big blue ikea bag full of loose ones.

Seems on eBay that they can be worth a few quid.

I dont know about old radio valves but I do know about guitar amplifier valves (the same things!)

There are obviously loads of different ones but if youve got any mullards and they say anything like EL84, 6V6, ECC83 or 12AX7, youll sell thme very easily providing theyre all working

You might be better off going to someone like Hot Rox or the tube store who may take the lot for a decent amount – save you faffing with ebay and fees and postage (but stay away from Watford Valves – the worst reputation Ive come across, The Dave Hinde of the Valve World!)

On the other hand Ill give you say £20… 😉

I vaguely know a bloke who specialises in repairing old radios – might see him later so if I do I’ll pass on your email.

Thanks very much. Please do that. I can send pics.

I have some boxed tubes on eBay now but I pulled the auction for the job lot as there are hundreds of loose ones in a blue ikea bag ( you know how big they are!) and I was getting grief to send to USA.

Somebody offered me £150 for them Last night which got me thinking they may be worth something.

They are untested though so cannot confirm if they work or not.

depending on what they are £150 could be nothing – if youre looking at selling all of them head over to one of the online valve dealers

Thanks for passing my details on. We have swapped a few emails and he has provided plenty of info to me. Thanks again
