Description: Here is one (1) brand-new NOS/NIB never used and fully tested matched pair of Western Electric 417A tubes. Both tubes have identical matching production date codes of 6913 (the 13th week of 1969). The lettering on each tube is pristine as well. Here are the test results when tested in my calibrated TV-7/U tube tester. Note that the minimum acceptable reading (when tested with the TV-7/U tester) for the 417A is 15, so you can see that these tubes test way above the minimum value, as you would expect for new and unused tubes, and you can see that they are electrically perfectly matched as well: Tube No. 1: 61 Tube No. 2: 61 As you would also expect from new-in-box and unused tubes, the tube pins on both tubes are straight, clean, and free of any oxidation. There are no rattles or loose particles within either of the tubes. The silver getters are bright and shiny. The tube boxes are in excellent condition, considering that they are now 55 years old. Note that the front flap on one of the tube boxes has torn from age, and it has been taped back in place. I have no capability for testing these tubes for microphonics. You are purchasing one pair of these tubes for one price. As with all electronic equipment of this vintage, these tubes are sold as-is and with no warranty. Please look at the accompanying photos carefully; what you see is what you will receive, and feel free to e-mail me with any questions you may have! Please be sure to see the many buyer positive feedback comments I have received as a seller here on e-Bay. Bid with complete confidence, as I have 100% perfect positive feedback, and I have been a member of e-Bay since 1999! This sale is for two (2) brand-new NOS/NIB and fully tested matched Western Electric 417A tubes, as described above and pictured herein. They will be very carefully packed for shipment; I have an extremely good reputation for safe and careful packing of delicate electronic equipment. Be sure to see my feedback for many buyer positive comments about my packing quality. Shipping costs are always quoted at the actual cost, and there is no handling charge or any charge for the packing materials. A word about shipping costs: I always endeavor to ship items offered for sale here on eBay by the most economical means, consistent with good packing practices, while considering the size, weight, and value of the item. Good packing practice means I will not pack a delicate item in an undersized box and with insufficient packing/filler material so the item may ship the most inexpensive way, such as via USPS Flat Rate Small Box Priority Mail. We both want your item to arrive safely, and with minimal chance of damage in shipment. I have no control over the shipping cost to you via the USPS or any other carrier. I never make a profit on the shipping cost, and there is never a charge for any packing materials, which usually includes brand-new bubble-wrap. If you are of the opinion the shipping cost quoted by the eBay shipping calculator may be too high, please contact me before you place your order, so we can discuss a possible alternate means of shipment that may be less costly. Positive feedback is left automatically, once the buyer leaves positive feedback for this transaction.
