I've have seven pairs of valves from the el84 family for sale. That is, fourteen tubes in total, matched as pairs.
Unless there is no interest whatsoever, with tumbleweeds blowing around the thread, I'd like to sell them as a job lot.
I am asking £290 (or £300 including insured, UK shipping) for them all. So that's about £20 per shiny glass tube.
The first pair is a 1950s UK production of the Mullard el84, type RX1.
These are used and working. I do not have test data but they were sold to me as strong/measuring new. They are well used, however.
Value: £100

The second pair is a late 50s/early 60s production of the RX3 el84, made in Holland.
They are used and working. I've no test data, but as above, I bought them as strong/measuring new. This was some years ago, though.
Value: £80

The third pair is a brand new set of New Sensor Gold Lion el84.
Unused. Matched test data given in the photo. These are £50 off the shelf from the valve shop, so I value them at £30.

The fourth, fifth, six and seventh pair are New Old Stock, unused, 6P15P-EV tubes.
These are a Russian military specification of the SV83 valve.
They are from the early 1980s and were used in military radar and video applications.
They make superb hi-fi tubes because of their linearity, lack of microphonics and long-life compared to el84 valves.
These are perfectly matched pairs.
Value: £80 in total (a bargain - and one reason why I like 'em!)
