Coolest tubes ever!!!
KT66 Nos Gold lion Genelex tubes
I was the lucky guy to cut the bags open after 50 years .
Most mortals never get a chance to do this with these tubes so I had to show them

Nice! I just scored a matched quad of NOS military (thicker glass; better QC) Teslovak (pre JJ) KT88s for my Sunn. Can't hardly wait for those to arrive. Not as nice as a set of Gold Lions, but at 1/4 (or less) of the price it's what I can afford.

If you're a tube amp geek (and I consider myself one, btw), it doesn't get much better than that! Cheers...

Holy crap! Dare I ask the price?
I had a chance to buy a case of 100 NOS for 20$ each around 20 years ago. That would have been a good investment!

You'd be a bijilionaire!

Did you huff the air from inside those sealed baggies?

I found them for somebody that wanted to put them in their blues breaker custom amp i built...
Hope you're sitting down price was .......$1900 bucks !!!
A pair and a spare.

Jesus, those are worth more than any amp I've owned....and I've had some nice Amps.

Oh. My. God.

To both the tubes and the price.

Extremely cool, extremely out of my league. Awesome post, sir!

 

[Kerry Brown]

Yes, pretty cool, but what do they sound like?

 

[Morattoampshop]

Theres something about the controlled mid range under high volume pressures that the old KT's just do better!!!
Especially the bluesbreakers amp design .(JTM45)

 

[bolero]

wow

I have to wonder, how many NOS tubes like that are even still around!

...there are 4 more less now

 

[blueshores_guy]

I sure hope they work.

 

[bolero]

hahaha

One of the nicest sounding tubes imho. I bought a pair of new Gold Lions for Marshall build I will be starting soon and thought $50 each was pricey...whew!
