Low voltage tubes on e-bay. Might be a good pick up.

Hi
I saw this on e-bay.  12AJ6, 12AE6 and others in this batch are low voltage types (probably from car radios or similar).  I'd like to buy them but I don't have the time for more tube projects, and my missus would would chop me up with the chainsaw.  So if anybody is interested in 12V tubes, go for it.

  I have a ~2w and a couple 15w amps, one of the 15w amps I put in a mod to have just one 6v6 or the other @~7watts...I use this amp ALOT...even that is more power than I really need for powering 2x12'' Greenbacks to sweet tones for noodling/recording..
   From the reviews and clips I've heard of these little amps, I'm sure I would really like one.
  ...12vdc...that's easy enough to get going...could even be made quite portable w/ BIG battery or an automobiles cigarette lighter PS?

they are 12 volt HEATER tubes, not the 12 volt on plates...

Every time I have to reload Windoze, one of the first apps to get re-loaded is TDSL-PE from Duncan's Amp Pages.

What a cool piece of software!

The 12AJ6 and 12AE6 are both space charge tubes designed for low voltage applications like 12V car radios. I see several more 12V space charge tubes there, but there are some regular high voltage ones too.

If I had some extra cash I would grab them, partially just to get a package from the home of the Trailer Park Boys.

I bought a sleeve of practically brand new tubes of this guy for US$9 recently too:

There are some bargains to be had!  Don't assume boxed tubes are perfect though.  I bought a pair of "NIB NOS" tubes once that turned out both having slipped bases
