TUBE HUNTER VACUUM TUBE GEMS THESE ARE THE SPECIFICS OF THE TUBE/TUBES FOR SALE THESE ARE THE TUBE/TUBES FOR SALE: MANUFACTURER: RCA PRODUCTION CITY: NEW JERSEY TUBE TYPE: JRC 5814A DESIGNATION: MIL SPEC TUBE CONTROL RODS YEAR: 1961 MONTH or WEEK 11 DATE CODE MATCH? SINGLE SILK SCREEN CONDITION %: 90% MICA: 2 PLATES: SHINY BLACK 14MM GM%: 120%,118% SINGLE/PAIR/QUAD/MULTI: SINGLE GETTER: O GETTER DATE CODE 11-61 THIS AUCTION IS FOR ONE TUBE, BUT IT COULD BE PAIR WITH ONE OF THE 3 THAT ARE AVAILABEL (SEE THE LAST PIC) This is an RCA 5814A . This type of tube is consistently rated by audiophile at the top of the heap. They are definitely very sweet sounding. Most surveys put them in the top three of ALL TUBES! BLACK PLATE MATERIAL SECRETS It is rumored that when RCA engineers discovered the magical properties delivered by their special black coating applied to the plates of their early vacuum tubes, the decided to keep the formula a secret. So dressed in white shirts, black slacks and skinny black ties, adorned with horned rimmed glasses and pocket protectors, the danced around the sacred golden 545a Tektronix oscilloscope, chanting, “E = I times R!!!....... E = I times R!!!”. Then they cut themselves with knives and made a blood oath to take the secret of the black plates to their grave. And they did just that. That is why the old tubes are better....they are haunted by the spirits of engineers past. Very strong and well balanced and well matched! Most audiophiles say these d getter long grey plates are the pinnacle of listening pleasure. I LOVE THEM. They deliver the bass like no other, and the mids are supremely hollow and detailed. Highs are akin to a good Telefunken. I really recommend these tubes. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE On my tester a B&K 747 tester: Below 55 = BAD 55-66 = ? 65 -100 = Good 100-120+ = NOS I want to see you happy with your purchase. I will never sell a tube that is below standard…… I have sold many tubes here on Ebay, and all my customers have been completely satisfied. I will work with you in good faith if there are any problems, or if you are unsatisfied in any way. I want your business now and in the future, so I assume you are the boss, and I am the employee. All tubes are tested for shorts, continuity, and emissions. I prefer PayPal. ALL CUSTOMERS PLEASE READ ALL NOTES BEFORE BUYING FROM ME !! 1. RETURNS: It is my highest desire that you are completely satisfied with your purchase from me. I will bend over backwards to make sure that you are a happy customer. If anything you buy from me is less than satisfactory, message me BEFORE you either open a case or hit the “item not as described” button. Sound quality is tremendously SUBJECTIVE. For tubes returned for noise or sound quality of any kind you pay for the shipping we refund the purchase. We refund the price of the item NOT THE SHIPPING COST. If we sent the wrong tube we will of course pay for return shipping. For any tubes that are DOA we require that you send a us a picture of the shipping box to show us the damage. We test EVERY tube sent out and none should be DOA unless broken in shipping. 2. PLEASE NOTE: Tube silkscreen (lettering on the tubes) is VERY fragile. It can be wiped off and destroyed VERY easily. If you wipe off the silkscreen while handling the tube you diminish their value by up to 70%. DO NOT handle the tubes or hold them from the cylinder. ALWAYS hold them from the ENDS. If you are returning tubes and they are not in the same condition cosmetically I cannot give you a full refund. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. 3. UNLESS YOU MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH US BEFORE YOU PURCHASE, YOU MUST PAY FOR ITEMS PURCHASED WITHIN 2 DAYS OR A CASE WILL BE OPENED FOR AN UNPAID ITEM!!! 4. TESTING: I test all tubes that I sell in one way or another, or I will state untested. I have a B&K 747 tube tester. This is a mutual conductance tester. It give a percentage value of gm for the tube under test and checks for shorts and grid emissions. I also use a Tektronix curve tracer for testing triodes. I give a number of evaluations for tubes. One evaluation is a screen shot of the tube with a high voltage applied to the plate. This helps the buyer see the linearity of the tube in question at the highest voltage the tube will see in a real circuit. The Curve tracer steps the triode through 10 gate/grid voltages starting with -10 volts and going to 0 volts. The lines show how the tube conducts throughout that range. At 0 volt the tube is at max conduction and is the top line on the display. It is easy at that point to take where that top line intersects the plate voltage, find the milliamp level and compare it to the datasheet. I give those numbers for you in the Item condition box. To further help the buyer I also include the Design values, for gm and ma readings in the table. This can then be compared to other tube sellers using inferior test methods such as Hickok, Amplitrex, and other testers. The Tektronix curve tracer gives values within 3% of the actual value. The very best portable testers only can approach 10% accuracy.5. Please note: The numbers given for gm are what I see on my tester. I DO NOT guarantee that you will see those numbers on your tester. I only guarantee that these tubes will test good, with no shorts, or gas, on a decent calibrated tester. I dont guarantee or imply anything else. 6. VERY IMPORTANT!!! Vintage tube testers almost always, due to age, have VERY LOW HEATER VOLTAGES!!! Every tester I have ever bought is below 6 volts when selecting 6.3 volts. They average 5.8 volts. The voltage NEEDS to be 6.3 and 12.6. You can calibrate a vintage tube tester all you want. If the heater voltage is not right, you will NEVER get the right gm value. I have customers complain that their tubes are not the same as what I see on my tester. They say they have a calibrated tube tester. I have 40 tube testers. On all of them I have an outside regulated DC power supply that feeds the tube tester the correct heater voltage. 7. I dont check each and every tube for noise or tone. This is SUBJECTIVE and it is too time consuming. If you dont like the noise level or the tone we offer a hassle free refund policy. International customers note: 1. Please wait for us to invoice you for the correct amount. If you have purchased more than one item, we must calculate how much the shipping will be. Shipping will be HIGHER due to insurance and shipping methods needed for expensive item totals. If you are buying only one item this will not be an issue. 2. Under no circumstances will we state on a US customs a declared value of less than the sale price. This is an honesty issue. We are honest with everyone to the best of our ability to do so. We want you to trust that what we say is true. There cannot be that trust, if we make false statements knowingly to anyone. If your country has tariffs/taxes so high that they cause large numbers of normally honest folks to make false statements, we urge you to work for change of those laws. 3 International buyers if you bought more than one item and want combined shipping it will ship in 2 days. 4. And all the Angels sang because the heavenly music was playing and it was turned all the way up. Listing and template services provided by inkFrog
