WTB: 12au7 and el84

[Reload in 5]

So not too long ago I got a 5751 from a forum bro for my valve junior. I really want to try out a 12AU7, or maybe a 12AT7 or 12AY7
Anybody got one layin around ?
How about a good el84 ? I still have the stocker in there.

Edit: I think an 12AV7 or an 12AY7 may be better for what I want (although I would love to try out an 12AU7)
I went from an 12AX7 (with a gain factor of 100) to a 5751 (gain 70)
A 12AT7 would be gain factor of 60, so I dont think that would be much of a change. I am afraid a 12AU7 would be too big of a drop (at 19)
the 12AV7 is 41 and the 12AY7 is 45, so I think either would be where I want to be.

I went from an ax (100) to a 5751 (70)
AN at would be 60, so I dont think that would be much of a change. I am afraid an au would be too big of a drop (at 19)
the av is 41 and the ay is 45, so I think both would be a big change.

Got any trade bait? Pickups, hell just about anything?

I can drop you a little cash for them, only trades I can think of right now are a digitech rp200, a digitech rp-6, and a half chewed pack of bubble gum.
I have pedals that will be on the chopping block, but I want to get the amp / cab and tubes all set so I know I made the right decision.

Re: WTB: 12au7 and el84

You made a typo. You listed an unknown preamp tube you listed as an AN which does not exist. According to the value of 60 you meant to say 12AT7.

Actually his capitalization was screwed up but it reads right. He said "AN at" when he should have said "An AT"

Yes. And I was a little confused with all the info I was throwing out there so............
Edited original post to read better.

PM me, I have a ton of great vintage tubes, check my feedback on here regarding them

I can do you a set of circa 1960-61 Sylvania made Baldwin's 12AU7's in like new condition for $45 shipped. I also have some other's like AT's. I may have some EL-84s also, have to check

prolly great tubes but i will have to pass. i will end up getting a JJ AU7 and an EH AY7 and a JJ EL84 if I cant find anything here (thats about $40 shipped). $45 for just 1 pre is a little out of my budget right now.

BTW a set from me is 4 since most any tube amp I have owned required at least 4

so will you sell just one or just sets ?

Re: WTB: 12au7 and el84

I will do a pair for $25 shipped or a quad for $45 shipped. I have checked completed listings on many occasions and my prices are a bargain in comparison. Last quad I saw sold for $83 in like condition

There here if you want them, I have approximately 20 quads of them left

The 12AX7's of same manufacture and year were well received here and a few other forums. They sold out in about a week or two as I recall
