RARE MINT NOS 1953-56 Brimar CV1985 6SL7GTY Tubes. Square Getter and Brown Micanol Base. STC Footscray production. In generic white boxes from bulk. Cosmetic condition is quite good considering the bulk storage.There are two small variations in the Micanol base color as shown in the picture, Reddish Brown and Golden Brown. One of the most desirable 6SL7 type tubes. Last 2 tubes left from this lot.

NOTES:
  1. In this lot, often some tubes have same month/year code with different shade of the base. Pairs are matched with the closest date code, base color and test scores.
  2. Some tubes have white painted stamp of April 1964 apparently used to date stock by third party. That is not the year of production of the tubes.

Excellent linear audiophile quality tube September 7, 2007
Reviewer: Sherlock from Seattle, WA United States  
Early production 1950s Brimars are always a safe bet for me, regardless of tube type.  This tube is outstanding, and should be considered if you are looking for a very linear tube, with clean detailed highs, and excellent bass.  When I say the tube is linear, I meant that the frequency extension is all there, but no area is overemphasized.  Those looking for more drama and bass  slam might consider the Mullard ECC35.  Those wanting more aggressive highs might consider Tung Sol black glass or Sylvania V-229s.   This Brimar CV1985 is for those who seek a super smooth sound, with no emphasis in any one area.  You will NOT be unhappy with these tubes.  Also, they are hard to find.  I rarely see NOS 50s Brimars.
