Hi Guys
I never thought I'd sell these at this point as they are among the rarest and best in my collection, but here goes... As you probably know the 7316/ ECC186 is considered by many to be the very best of all ECC82/12AU7 types. As such, they are also some of the rarest and priciest. The first pair are NIB/NOS and PERFECTLY matched between tubes and sides. They have Mullard labels and boxes but the identical date codes CT5 delta 3HI show they are in fact Amperex prodution, made in Herleen, Holland factory. A stunning, perfect pair. £285 for the pair (the usual price per tube!!)
The second pair have different prints, one Amperex bugle boy, the other HP, but again they are 7316/ECC186 ct's with Herleen holland markings are matched and test NOS. Slightly cheaper due to faded markings. £235
Up for sale before I have second thoughts and keep them for a rainier day...
