[R-390] "Fake" 12AX7 tubes on e*pay

[Perry Sandeen]

GM List,

I frequently check epay for tubes.  I've observed that there are many individuals listing tube as
12AX7/5651/XXXXX/XXXXX.  I don't know if they are just stupid or greedy a**holes or both.  

The point being that the numbers list are not for the same tube.  I don't know where they got
their "substituition" from but I wouldn't buy because you and probably they haven't a clue what
they have.

Reputable dealers like Triode Electronics in Chicago sell russian and east european new tubes that
are excellent.  I think some negative comments made by some to the contrary are old wives tales.

Regards, Perrier
