Old Tube Price Lists
(No tubes are being offered for sale here.)
Here are some scans of old tube price lists that I found around the house. Feel free to view them or copy them to your hard drive. For other uses please read my Terms and Conditions page.
To view, please click on the image. You can then right click and save any of the images to your own hard drive.
Before you drool over the low prices, keep in mind the following:
$1.00 in 1966 is $6.39 in 2009 or a 6E5 would be $36.10 today
$1.00 in 1968 is $6.20 in 2009 or a 1L6 would be $77.81 today
$1.00 in 1986 is $1.92 in 2009 or a 6L6GC would be $54.72 today

Let me stress that in no way do the prices shown on these sheets reflect any modern day values. A few tubes might have a higher value (after compensating for the value of money), but most , especially tv tubes will have a much lower value. I don't offer any price evaluation services for tubes or anything else.
If you have some old price lists and can scan them, please contact me if you would like to share them with others.
