This listing is for one (1) Amperex-made 6AQ8 ECC85 dual triode vacuum tube in the standard tube shape. It has a Noval 9-pin miniature B9A base, grey plate, and top D, halo, or dimpled disc getter. Some of our stock is re-labeled or marked with the OEM of Harmon-Kardon, Sylvania, RCA, Westinghouse, The Standard Tuner, Philips Miniwatt, Columbia. If you're looking for a particular brand, please message right as you order - we pack and ship quickly!
Your tube has been fully tested on a computer-regulated, USA-made Amplitrex AT1000 on Fixed Bias setting with WEAK results. It has also passed shorts and gas tests, but did not meet our requirements for a used, good tube because of weak results in GM or plate current or both. It might work in some circuits, but performance is NOT guaranteed. The tube might have mechanical wear or have the label rubbed off - these are very old! Tubes that test used good or like new (tNOS) are often available in a separate listing. Only tNOS and Used Good tubes are eligible for our 60-day performance guarantee.
OPTIONS (use offer feature in Reverb):
Want a regular white box? $1 extra per tube
Want a tube that's packed in its original box? $3 extra per tube
Want the test results recorded on your box, too? $3 extra per tube
Want two tubes that match one another within 10%? [Matching is based on plate current for power tubes and GM for all other tubes] $5 extra per tube.
