Matched Pair 8BQ5 can be used as long life 6BQ5 RCA NOS same code Vacuum Tubes Carbonized Black Plates Top Disc Getters Tested at 108 & 113 Passed 'Life Test' on a calibrated B&K 747B tube tester where the Good range is 65-120 *B&K 747B calibrated *Dan Nelson calibrated TV-7D/U with sweep tube adapters, & digital meter with plate current test at 150V. *Paul Hart calibrated/modified Westmore 501 (Triplett 3444) Not tested for noise or microphonics Test results may differ between various testers for many reasons such as technical design, aging components, etc. So while test results are a good indication of quality there can be some difference between the many differently designed & maintained testers. The following definitions are mine as I use them. 'Balanced' refers to comparing the gm test results between the lowest to the highest sections of a single tube. Within 3% I consider to be 'Balanced' . 'Matched' refers to comparing the gm test results between the lowest to the highest of the like sections of a set of tubes. 'Matched' I consider to be within 10%. 'Closely Matched' I consider to be within 5%. 'Tightly Matched' I consider to be within about 2%. *For Multiple item purchases click the "Add to Cart" selection for each item *After all items have been added to your cart click on "Request Total From Seller " *An invoice will be returned with the correct 'combined shipping' & total due * If your purchase is not fully satisfactory please contact me .
