Hello Drew , generally any tubes made by that German RFT plant are a good tube so if the price holds relistic probably a good buy . Still has a few days to go and I'll bet quite a few will bid but put in one you think they are worth and see how you make out .

Hi drewtunes, if those get crazy, just be patient and persistant in watching. I not long back picked up a lot of 3 west german ef's, one labeled RCA, and two rogers, for like $55.00 or so !! NOS! Ive even got a handful of nice sounding used ones i picked up cheap.

I emailed Myles about that same auction this morning... He replied... This would be great if they have any sort of guarantee as they may have been bounced around for decades. I plan on watching this auction and see how much they go for.

True statement, i suppose the deal has to be good enough to factor in the chance that you may go bust on a tube from an "unknown". Ive gotten a few nice suprises too tho!

1 day 19 hours left, current bid $33. It's temping. Lou have you tried any of the german GE ef86s in your 66? I'd like an ef86 that runs on the bright side. I've played with dario and mullard 86s. When cranked the amp produces a mild nice souding low harmonic with killer tone and response. When pushing the front end (hard) the overdriven tones are great and very musical but when climing past the 12th fret the low harmonics become less desirable musically. Others on the forum have suggested that the 86s could be suspect. What's your favorite ef 86? Thanks, Drew

Not I, I'm curious how the EI ef86s work out. I should just quit being cheap and purchase one.
