DescriptionHUGE Collection of 70 Vintage NOS RCA, GE, and Raytheon Vacuum Tubes AND a 1961 RCA Tube Price List from A & B TV Supply, Inc. in Mason City, Iowa!
This listing is a consignment for a customer of ours. We are offering his collection of SEVENTY (70) NOS (new old stock) vacuum tubes, along with a July 1, 1961 RCA Receiving and Picture Tubes Price Schedule. Most of these tubes are RCA brand (65 RCA tubes), but there are three Raytheon tubes, one Sylvania, and one GE tube in there, as well. The boxes are all in FABULOUS condition, with the exception of a very few -- one has the top tab torn off (shown in the photos -- though it is still marked with the correct tube number). I believe these are mostly from the 50's and early 60's, but I'm not an expert on tubes, so some could be earlier, and some later. The seller tells me that he bought this entire collection MANY years ago from a gentleman retired from repairing radios and TV's, so these are all from a WORKING shop, and I believe they are all new and unused. However, I am not knowledgeable in testing, nor do I have the equipment to test them, so they are being sold AS IS, but I'm confident that most of them would work just fine. We DO have some of this gentleman's testing equipment, also, but I have no idea if it works or not, and I do not know how to operate it. Keep an eye on our future listings for several pieces of test equipment!!
From the research I've done on these, it appears there is a wide variety of tubes here -- you collectors will know what most of these are used for. I believe we are asking a fair price for these, but I am including the "Best Offer" option on this listing, as well. Feel free to make an offer if you think we are asking too much. Our research indicates that there are several tubes in here worth at least $10 to $15 each, and the rest should all be worth in the neighborhood of $2 to $5 each, and we're considering the price list a bonus. The price list is torn up a bit at the top where it was apparently hung in the gentlemen's workshop, but it's not in too bad a shape, overall. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns, and we look forward to finding a new home for this great collection! Thank you for looking, and have a great day! Please check out our !! We have s<></>omething for most every taste and budget!! Thank you for viewing our auctions, and PLEASE add us to yourfavorite sellers list!! Sold AS IS. All Sales Final.

Payments:
PLEASE pay for your item(s) promptly. We want to get your items in your hands as quickly as possible so you can begin enjoying them!
We accept payment ONLY in US Dollars. We accept credit card payments only via PayPal. However, we CAN invoice you via PayPal and you can send payment via PayPal WITHOUT you having to open a PayPal account (PayPal simply acts as the credit card processor in this situation). Please contact us with questions. We welcome all types of PayPal payments, and will be more than happy to work with you on alternate payment methods as well -- just contact us! We cannot ship your item until your full payment is received AND cleared.
Shipping Information:
We will gladly combine shipping for you whenever it is possible to do so. There is a shipping calculator available on this page. If you feel it is not working properly, or if you would prefer we determine the shipping charge for you, please let us know your destination zip code or country, and we will relay shipping costs to you as quickly as possible.
We normally ship each weekday, Monday through Friday. We do not and cannot ship on weekends, holidays, or while we are away from the shop either on business or vacation. Shipping time estimates shown here are ESTIMATES only. Please contact us BEFORE purchasing if you need immediate shipment or delivery. We ship 99% of our items within one or two business days, but occasionally we encounter delays – we are only human. We will ONLY ship to the address shown in the “Ship to:” area of your PayPal payment. You may add a new Ship-To address to your PayPal account by accessing the “Profile: Add or Edit Street Address” link from your PayPal home page after you have logged in. We will NOT ship to alternate addresses “noted” in your PayPal payment. PayPal’s Buyer and Seller Protection programs ONLY apply if this requirement is met, and we want these protections in place for both your and our benefit. No exceptions will be made to this rule. We reserve the right to ship your item by an alternate shipping method. On the rare occasions when we may use an alternate shipping method, the service we choose will be comparable in delivery time to the original method you have chosen. For instance, we may ship your item via Priority Mail instead of UPS Ground.
Returns & Warranty Information:
All sales are FINAL unless we have materially misrepresented an item. However, clothing, footwear, hats, or other items for which you have a choice of size MAY be exchanged for a different size if we stock the size you are returning. Clothing considered “one size fits most,” “one size fits all,” or clothing we consider a custom order and non-stocked items CANNOT be returned or exchanged.
All outright returns (only on items for which returns are accepted) are subject to a $10.00 or 20% restocking charge, whichever is greater. Alternatively, you may take store credit for the purchase price of the item being returned -- store credits must be used within 30 days. Freight charges are never refundable.
Some manufacturers' warranties may be affected by purchasing their merchandise on online auction sites such as eBay. It is the buyer's sole responsibility to confirm with the manufacturer the extent to which any manufacturers’ warranty applies. We offer NO WARRANTY of our own, express or implied, and we will not guarantee the manufacturer's warranty.
Stocking Information:
We stock the vast majority of the products we sell. The few that we do not are items that we drop-ship to our customers directly from our sources (all drop shipped items are noted as such in the item description, but we reserve the right to drop ship any item to our customers to maintain a timely delivery). We sell in different marketplaces which makes it impossible for us to keep inventory counts on this site exact. Because of this, we cannot guarantee that the quantity shown as “available” on any particular listing is actually in stock. Please feel free to ask us before bidding if you have any questions as to the availability of a product or if you need it delivered immediately.
We normally keep what we consider a generous stock of every item we sell on-hand. Although it is very rare, we have experienced situations before where we sell out of an item because of unusually high customer demand. In these cases, we will make EVERY attempt humanly possible to ship your item as quickly as possible, but some delays are inevitable and unavoidable. When we cannot provide the item to you within the period of time offered in the listing, we will contact you and ask you to decide if you are willing to wait for the item, or if you prefer, we can process a 100% refund. We want our customers to be happy!
International Buyers, please note:
Import duties, taxes, customs fees and other charges are not included in the item price or shipping rate. These charges are the buyer’s sole responsibility. Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Duties, taxes and customs charges are normally collected by the shipping company delivering the package or when you pick the item up – please do not confuse these with additional shipping charges.
We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as ‘gifts’ or ‘samples’ as US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. These behaviors are considered felonies punishable by years in prison and thousands of dollars in fines – please do not ask us to do this for you because we simply will not.
Knife purchasers, please note:
Please know and understand your local laws and regulations BEFORE bidding on our items. By bidding, the BUYER declares that he/she:
- Is legally entitled to purchase, own, carry and use a knife of this type, and is of legal AGE to do so.
- Is legally entitled to receive the item at the shipping address provided with payment.
- Agrees that the Seller assumes ABSOLUTELY NO LIABILITY for your purchase.
