Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what my tubes are worth?

The value of vacuum tubes varies widely based on type, brand, condition, and rarity. Send us photos and details, and we'll provide a fair assessment based on current market values.

Do you buy damaged or non-working tubes?

Yes, we may purchase non-working or damaged tubes depending on their type and rarity. Some collectors seek specific tubes for display purposes or for their parts.

How should I package tubes for shipping?

Vacuum tubes are fragile and require careful packaging. Wrap each tube individually in bubble wrap, place in a sturdy box with ample padding material, and mark the package as "Fragile." We can provide detailed packing instructions after our initial assessment.

I inherited a large collection. Can you help identify the tubes?

Absolutely. Send us clear photos of the tubes and any markings, and we'll help identify them and provide a valuation. For large collections, we may arrange a visit for in-person assessment.
