Hey fellas,

I am going to be listing my pair of Footscray CV4033 Triple Mica Square Getters 56' latter today and figured I would give my tube rolling buddies first crack at them. I prefer the CV455, and would like to recoup most of the money I spent on the CV4033, so here is a golden opportunity.

I will be listing the pair for $185 with PayPal fees and FedEx 2nd day insured shipping included. I will only sell within U.S., as I don't want to hassle with international delays.



Hit me up if you are interested.

Happy Saturday!

I'm tempted...6201 Triple mica have been in my MJ2 for the past 18 months...

My CV4033 Square Getters have been sold, so no more temptation from me or well maybe a bit more at the end of this post. The 6201 Triple Mica Pinched Waist D Getter is my number 1 tube, so I can see why you have been content for the past 18 months. An insanely good tube no doubt, however this tube can hang https://www.langrex.co.uk/products/12at7-cv455-kb-fb-brimar-rare-triple-mica-1956-nos-valve-tube/

Haven't tested them yet but they are both from 1956 one is January and the other is August. Shame they aren't matching dates, my poor OCD!

Laughed out loud at the 'non-matching dates/OCD' comment. Totally get it. Thanks for giving me something else to worry about while I wait for mine to arrive. Hey, how do they sound so far ????

We could do a tube exchange so people can date match their CV455s...

I haven't had a chance to listen to them yet, hopefully I will be able to listen to them early next week.

@bcowen saw this and thought you might appreciate this. Price is a bit high if it goes for the opening bid.

No need for a thank you.

LOL! Too bad Ebay has no provisions for a seller to pay a buyer to take something.

I hear that, as long as they go from the mailbox to the garbage. I'm down for that.

To be fair, they weren't made to drive esoteric headphone amps playing hi-res audio

The engineers probably overruled the bean counters with aviation products. Hopefully.

Hopefully indeed!!!

Or the tubes are so overengineered that they do their job and that’s it…no magic infused!

It's all about the magic !

I got a paypal notification that it was shipped. But no tracking number.

Took about a week and a a half to arrive in Massachusetts.
